When user clicks on one element, trigger a click on another.

I have some links on my page and I need to programmatically perform a click on an element when the user clicks on another element. For example, when I click on element A, jQuery should perform a click on element A2.

I don't know what this is called, technically, and I'm having trouble finding out how to do this. Is this possible in jQuery?

Attached an event handler to your first element (#elementA in the example below) and then trigger a click event on the second element (#elementB below)

$("#elementA").on("click", function (e) {
     $("#elementB").click();
});

Here is the Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/mifi79/Dar8J/
