You need to pass the clicked element reference to the click handler

<a href="http://www.foo.com" onclick="myFunction(this); return false">

then

function myFunction(el) {
    setTimeout(function () {
        window.location.assign(el.getAttribute('href'))
    }, 4000);
}

or using jQuery

function myFunction(el) {
    setTimeout(function () {
        window.location.assign($(el).attr('href'))
    }, 4000);
}
