How to track URLs that are not in the "History", but were actually visited by the browser?
I open a web page mith multiple links that appear the same: www.someurl.com/somepage.sd# When I click on a links, the section of web page is expanded and more information is shown. the web page contains JavaScript. So, I want to track the actual URLs that browser visits.

That data is retrieved via an XMLHttpRequest to rebuild part of the page and the URL on the location bar stays the same.
You can see that in the Web Console (Web Developer > Web Console;Ctrl+Shift+K) as a POST and GET action.
You won't see a history entry in such cases because you aren't actually visiting that web page.
That data is merely used by JavaScript to update the current page content.

Such links have an onclick event attached that do the actual action.
What you see when you hover such a JavaScript link is only some placeholder.
I don't think there is a way to resolve such links in most cases.
Well, I don't need to see the actual link in real time. It'd OK to retrieve the URL after it is visited.

If you've visited such a JavaScript link then you should see it in the location bar and the site should show up in the history.
Did you try to sort the history in the sidebar "By Last Visited" (Ctrl+H)?
Nope. Only the page that contains the link. I'll try to download some data if possible and no login is required. But clicking on each link would be enormous task.
Such links about files that you've downloaded should still show in the History Manager (Library) and in the history sidebar if you use the search bar to limit the results.
Maybe I'm missing something. Here is the site: http://www.soccerbase.com/results/home.sd The links are "circled i" in light green color. In the status bar all they appear as http://www.soccerbase.com/results/home.sd#

Thank you! This is what I needed.
