I hope you are aware of some css properties which helps to highlight the link as follows.

CSS

    background-color: Green;
}

I think he needs the color to change or css change after click of the link
So
a:focus/a:active would do.
Check the below fiddle:

Try using a:visited, that would also work out, as has been used by Code Project, you can check in the Q/A section inspect element, onclick of a question the link yurns maroon with a:visited
