Making the distinction between similarly titled links in Cuc

Hoblaa!

I'm writing a test for modifying a list structure. Say I have a list of objects in the view along the lines of: Object1 View Edit Delete Object2 View Edit Delete Object3 View Edit Delete Object4 View Edit Delete

I want to be able to write a test in Cucumber that'll perform an action on one of the objects, i.e. Object2. How can I pinpoint the correct View/Edit/Delete link from the list? I can't really use the standard

[code] I follow "View" [/code]

because it will just follow the View link for Object1 (I assume).

Thanks in advance.

I'm about to try dealing with a similar problem. Webrat will match objects by CSS selector; I don't know yet (because I haven't yet tried!) whether Cucumber's default webrat_steps will work with that matching strategy, but if not, it shouldn't be too hard to write new steps that do work.

Best,
