Hi,  
I would like trigger an action after a link is used to delete it.  
Is it possible to catch the clic on a component link ?

What defines a link is “used” or not?

After the click on the screen link, I wish trigger an action

```auto
set
Export
clear value

```

So the link on the screen is one time usage.
