Maybe you are looking for something like :

$link = $crawler->filter('a[id="fabulous_id"]')->attr('href');
$crawler = $client->request('GET',$link);

look DomCrawler Doc for informations

I find this to be the best solution in case your links are buttons that contain no text, for example iconic buttons. – Rick Slinkman May 10 '15 at 15:17

You are looking for click() method.

$link = $crawler->selectLink('Go there')->link();
$crawler = $client->click($link);

You should read this documentation chapter more careful
