I haven't used "links" in a long time, so I'm not sure, but it sounds
like there is.

You may want to have a look at other console based browsers as
alternatives, if "links" does not behave as you prefer.  Have you tried
w3m or one of its enhanced brethren?

    /usr/ports/www/w3m
    /usr/ports/www/w3m-img
    /usr/ports/www/w3m-m17n
    /usr/ports/www/w3m-m17n-img
