alecxe is correct just one correction I had to do when using it was instead of 

element.getAttribute('href');

I had to use double quotes for Java. It was assuming it was a character literal.

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id('id_of_the_link'));
element.getAttribute("href");

It depends on the language bindings. In java it is getAttribute():

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id('id_of_the_link'));
element.getAttribute('href');

In Python it is get_attribute():

element = driver.find_element_by_id('id_of_the_link')
element.get_attribute('href')
