JQuery change value of anchor link

I have a value coming in from a CMS which I don't have access to and am looking for a jquery workaround. I'd like to target an anchor link based on value and then replace. I know how to do this based on class or ID but I don't have access to edit those.

Here is my rendered html:

<a class="searchtitle" href="https://sitname.com">STRONG</a>

Would it be possible to target $(.searchtitle) where the value equals strong and replace it with a new value?

Another option is to use filter() Here's a demo

$('.searchtitle').filter(function(){ 
    return $(this).text() == "STRONG"; 
}).text('hello');

Try this:

$('.searchtitle').filter(function(){
    return $(this).html()=="STRONG";
}).html("new value");

Sure, use:

$('.searchtitle:contains("STRONG")').html('new text')
