Link, meaning transfer its data through a form submission? If yes, you can retrieve the data from another page via $_GET and $_POST methods.

page1.php

<form method = "POST" action="page2.php"> // you may use GET
    <select name = "dropDown" required>
        <option value = "Sample Value">Sample Value</option>
        <option value = "Sample Value">Sample Value</option>
        <option value = "Sample Value">Sample Value</option>
    </select>
    <input type = "submit" name = "submitForm" value = "Submit Form">
</form>

page2.php

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submitForm']))
{
   $displayData = $_POST['dropDown'];
   echo $displayData;
}
?>

Or you mean by link using "href", you can use

<a href = "https://www.google.com/" target = "_blank">Link</a>

Hope this helps you! :)

You mean, you want to open the location.php on a new window or tab? – cartmander Dec 11 '14 at 01:38
