In theory, you can use BeanShell Sampler to do anything - it's just a way of writing Java code that can be executed by JMeter to perform a sample. For example, you could write java code to scan the file system looking for strings in a file.
As far as JMeter is concerned, a sampler is called to perform a _single_ sample (though subresults are also possible). Sample results (with timings) are then made available to Listeners, Assertions etc for further processing. Your BSH Sampler would need to keep track of the previous sample to decide where to go next time it was called. Possible, but messy. There is already a Link Extractor that can be used to extract the first level links. Also the Access Log Sampler can process all the entries in a web-server log. The format is pretty simple, so it would be easy enough to write a script to generate a dummy log file that included all the URLs you wanted to test. Or indeed you could use one of the functions to populate the appropriate fields in an HTTP Sampler by reading these from a file. And you can use the proxy recorder to record HTTP sessions. S.
