If it is a custom visualforce page, you can use jQuery/javascript to do this. Call a javascript method onchange of picklist value and pass the picklist element ($this). Then in the javascript/jQuery method you can just check whether it is match the value and trigger a click on the link.

if(element.value == 'Your value'){
    $("#linkELementId").trigger("click");
}
