Can I test an href link that is returned from my GET within the same test?

I have an api that returns data from our customer table, but in addition to these results for each record it returns href links (self, address, contacts, etc) which I run to drill deeper into a record.  I have seen on message content assertion that I can only verify that the 'expected' link matches 'actual'.  

 

Is there a way to get the resulting href link, then have my test run that uri and assert that content?  Thank you much for your time.

    Add a groovy script teststep

    Save the response URL in a testCase property using point and click in groovy script testStep

    testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue( "urlendpoint", urlendpoint)

    Create a HTTP request and add this expansion in HTTP endpoint section

    ${#TestCase#urlendpoint}

     

    Thanks

      I have added a groovy teststep.

       

      Sorry but this was a little confusing. "Save the response URL in a testCase property using point and click in groovy script testStep"

       

      From outline view, I right click on href link and transfer to property, with target step as groovy script?

       

      This below goes in Groovy script step?

       

      testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue( "http://ds-domainproxy-500-dev.cloudhub.io:80/api/finance-company/8ac498b41548787001154daf7bcd0046", http://ds-domainproxy-500-dev.cloudhub.io:80/api/finance-company/8ac498b41548787001154daf7bcd0046)

       

      Thank you much

        Hi, am a new user to soapui pro and need some additional help with this so i appreciate your patience.  

         

        Add a groovy script teststep - done

         

         

        Save the response URL in a testCase property using point and click in groovy script testStep - in my response on the outline tab i select my href link and have choices to add to property or property test step.

         

        If i choose property, on basic tab my target step is Groovy script.  Target path blank, source path auto populates

         

         

        For this piece below, i thought it went into groovy script but I am doubting it now because my endpoint looks like a comment (attached)

        testRunner.testCase.setPropertyValue( "urlendpoint", urlendpoint)

         

        Create a HTTP request and add this expansion in HTTP endpoint section 

        ${#TestSuite#urlendpoint

         

        Thanks much
