Find link elements of Internet Explorer_Server and send Click() event (C++)

i'm trying to programmatically send a click event to an Internet Explorer_Server window of a program, I came across this question in StackOverflow that was simillar to my circumstance and followed its answer: Sending "click" Message to a Internet Explorer_Server window link

Unfortunately i have a hard time figuring out how to find the right link elements and send a click() method for them.

I want to understand more in depth about what i'm working with here and what exactly is the Internet Explorer_Server window so i can search for the right answers and fourms on the way ahead.

The "Internet Explorer" window is either a real Internet Explorer (the blue e on your desktop) or a hosted variant thereof. The core of Internet Explorer is "MSHTML.DLL" aka IWebBrowser2 - an ActiveX control. Internet Explorer adds things like a window frame, favorites and other menu's to make a full web browser out of the ActiveX control. But pixelwise, 95% of Internet Explorer is just that single ActiveX control.
