# Adding a command/value to a link

 * Is there a way to have links execute commands? I am new to this and have some
   trouble so help is appreciated!
 * What I am looking for is to have a link for sending a message to a specific user.
   I have the User Messages plugin, which allows for private messaging on the front
   end. I was hoping to create a link that will redirect to the create message URL(
   [http://hookahi.com/messages/write-message](http://hookahi.com/messages/write-message)),
   but have the link contain the value # for the recipient. Basically, a link that
   sets the value of a certain input/field, is that possible?
 * What I am hoping for… the profile of user Phil who’s “value #” is 17. A link 
   that says “Send Phil a Message” with the link as ‘`<a href="" class="user.select"
   value="17">Send Phil...</a>`‘ or something like that? Can that be done?
