HTML parsing (also known as screenscraping) is not necessary and almost never a good idea. To obtain a list of links in a given article, use the API:

Hey Roan,
Would this give you interwiki links also?
It would be pretty useful.
No, but prop=langlinks will. You can combine them with prop=links|langlinks
Technically, prop=langlinks will only give you interlanguage links (which are links that look like [[en:This title in English]]). Other kinds of interwiki links, like [[wikt:define]] or [[:fr:Different title in French]], cannot be retrieved via the API, except by parsing the page text.
