Most probably the link has href attribute which points to the location of the CSV file, i.e.

<a href="http://example.com/path/to/file.csv">Save as CSV</a>

It means that you need to send a simple HTTP GET request to the location of the href attribute of the link. The relevant configuration of the HTTP Request sampler would be something like:

If you additionally want to save the file to your hard drive - use Save Responses to a file listener, see Performance Testing: Upload and Download Scenarios with Apache JMeter article for more information if needed.

If you have problems with constructing this or that JMeter HTTP Request manually - remember that you can always just record it using your browser and JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
