Iterate through all links that can be a potential match, then check whether their href matches your criteria. You can do this check by using basic string functions or regular expressions if the criteria are too advanced for basic matches.

Normally you'd just iterate over all of the links, checking to see if each one matches your conditions, and if so, grab the data you want from it.

foreach($html->find('a') as $link) {
    if(substr($link->href, 0, 10) == "/releases/") {
        // do stuff with a releases link
    }

    // and so on
}
