Assertation by link text

See original GitHub issue

It seems like the elements() webdriver functionality has a strategy partial link text. So I assume it might be possible to build a assert function which finds a link with a specific text on the page. As far as I can see, there is no such function. Is there a plan to add such a function, or would you be happy if I tried to write such a function and then submit a pull-request? Or is the my desired functionality “check if there is an element with a specific text on the page” achievable in a different way?
