Can they select more than 1 line at a time?

Do you need to know this on the client-side before requesting action from 
the server?  Or only on the server in the controller/function that matches 
the link?

If on the server,  doesn't the db query for the row selected give that 
value?

If on the client, you would be looking at picking up the proper td entry.  
I don't have a grid example going at the moment.  I have an SQLTABLE 
example that doesn't seem to name anything in the table (unlike an SQLFORM 
where everything is named).  But for a grid, aren't you intercepting a 
click on the link inside a td, and the other td would just be one of its 
siblings?
