You could do:

window.location = $("a").attr("href");

If you want to keep the referrer, you 2 could do this:

var href = $('a').attr('href');
$('<form>').attr({action: href, method: 'GET'}).appendTo($('body')).submit();

It is hackish, but works in 1 all browsers.

Score: 2
document.location.href = "#wanted_Location";

Maybe something like this is what you're 1 looking for?

$(document).ready(function () {
  $("a").each(function(){
    if($(this).click()){
      document.location.href = $(this).attr("href");
    }
  });
});

There is a simpler way to achieve it,

HTML

<a href="https://getbootstrap.com/" id="fooLinkID">Bootstrap is life </a>

JavaScript

// Simulating click after 3 seconds
setTimeout(function(){
  document.getElementById('fooLinkID').click();
}, 3 * 1000);

Using 2 plain javascript to simulate a click.

You 1 can check working example here on jsFiddle.

Okay, referer doesn't get set using document.location 4 (as per my other answer), might work with 3 window.navigate(url)? If that doesn't work 2 the following might, though it's quite - ehrm 1 - ugly:

$(function() {
  $("a").each(function(){
    if($(this).click()){
      $('<form method="get" action="' + $(this).attr("href") + '"></form>').appendTo("body").submit();
      return false;
    }
  });
});
