PHP/HTML Question

I hope this is not a dumb question but I am trying to process data to an if statement from two links. I can do this easily with two form since forms can have submit buttons with names such as:

<form action="process.php" method="post"> Enter your name: <input type="text" name="name" size="20"><br /> 
<input type="submit" name="edit" value="Edit"> 
<input type="submit" name="delete" value="Delete">
</form>

The if statement in process.php can be if edit do this else do this.

What I want to do is the same thing but from a href links. How would I set up an if statement since a tags can’t have names in HTML5?

Thanks for your help.

E.g:

<a href="process.php?action=edit">Edit</a>

<?php

$action = $_GET['action'];

if($action == 'edit'){
// edit.
}else{
// else another action.
}
