Sounds like an interesting approach!

This really sounds like a place where you should use a contact form
and server side processing, yada, yada, yada.

Um... let's see. You really have lots of options as to how to obtain
the href of that link. You could get a collection of all the links on
the page as such:
var arLinks = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
you can then loop through it and look for a signifier... let's say
you've decided any link with the class name "reconfigurator" should
behave in the manner you describe.
for(i=0;i<arLinks.length;i++){
if(arLinks[i].className == 'reconfigurator'){
arLinks[i].onmouseover == reconfigurate(this.href);
arLinks[i].onfocus == reconfigurate(this.href);
arLinks[i].onmouseout == deconfigurate(this.href);
arLinks[i].onblur == deconfigurate(this.href);
}
}
Alternatively, if there are just a few anchor elements you want to
grab, rather than enough to warrant looping through every one on the
page, you can get individual ones by assigning them and id:
<a href="whatever" id="uniqueID">whatever</a>
then grab it using getElementById:
var uniqueElement = document.getElementById('uniqueID');
then you can do things like:
uniqueElement.onmouseover = myFunc(uniqueElement.href);
