[support] Unique identifier

[Vaibhav Jain]

Chris, If I understand it correctly, this solution might work for you.
Every element when Views render, it adds a unique class to it, something
like - "views-row-1" OR "col-1"
You can pass in the "event" in the function called, and get the details
about the div, which contained that link, via ".parent"
Hope this helps...
