Answer

The short answer is that you can't.

The yucky answer is that you can by manually specifying the link, e.g. <a href="WikiWord" class="superlarge">WikiWord</a>

A different answer is that you can by if the links you want to style always fall within a particular context. For example if you want links within headings to be gray add this rule to your stylesheet:

  h1 a, h2 a, h3, h4 a, h5 a, h6 a {color: gray;}
