session is server side concept, while javascript plays on browser

• You can either use ajax on click of those link make a request to server and pass the info. and set it to session @ server

Or

• If those links on whichuser is going to click is your server's then pass some param with it. and track it at server

The easiest approach is to use a hidden input element bound to a bean property in session scope, and put a JavaScript onclick handler in a mandlink that sets the hidden element's value before submitting the page.
