I recommend the XPather extension for learning / developing with XPath. [ 
http://xpath.alephzarro.com/ ]
That along with the Javascript Shell [ http://www.squarefree.com/shell/ ] 
are my 2 favourite tools for developing greasemonkey scripts.

If you want to work it out yourself skip the rest of the message but...

I would guess it would be something similar to 
"//div[@id='sidebar']//h4[preceding-sibling::h3[text()='SpecificTextGoesHere']]//a"

(It took longer to type than think up.) :-)
