Try to locate required node by its link text:

element(by.linkText('COOL LINK')).click()

Note that you should use text exactly as it appears on page, but not as it appears in HTML source code

Update

You can try to use ExpectedCondition to wait for link appearance in DOM:

var EC = protractor.ExpectedConditions;
browser.wait(EC.elementToBeClickable(element(by.linkText('COOL LINK'))), 5000).click();

The text COOL LINK is within <h3> tag so you can use xpath as :

//a[@href='someCoolLinkText.com']/h3[@class='main-header' and contains(.,'COOL LINK')]
