How to extract WebElements using linkText from fields and click on it

Actually By.linkText() locates <a> elements by the exact text it displays while desire text is not inside any <a> tag. That's why you're in trouble.

You should try using By.xpath() with this text as below :-

WebElement el = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//div[descendant::td[text() = 'RFI Overview']]"));System.out.println("Table One Column contains following:\n" + el.getText());el.click();

Or

WebElement el = driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//div[normalize-space(.) = 'RFI Overview']"));System.out.println("Table One Column contains following:\n" + el.getText());el.click();

Or As I'm seeing in provided screenshot desire <div> has id attribute which value looks like unique. If this attribute value is fixed for this element, you can also try using By.id() as :-

WebElement el = driver.findElement(By.id("isc_3BL"));System.out.println("Table One Column contains following:\n" + el.getText());el.click();

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td[.='RFI Overview']")).click();

I'd suggest using the div with id isc_3BL as well, but I am not certain that is a static id. If it is, you could definitely use it to isolate from any other outside table containing the same exact td with text "RFI Overview"
