Call a pl/sql stored procedure from a report link

Question

Hello everyone:
I have a report with a link in a column, which takes you to another page and passes values to that page, but also need the link, run a stored procedure before going to the other page.
In the Forum I found cases similar to this, but none of the examples is clear to me how I do this. It seems that the target of the link should be URL, and also I have to call the stored procedure with a javascript function.
My questions are:
- Is this the best method to make what I need?
- How should be the syntax of the link that takes me to another page and run the "stored procedure"
- How and where I put the function "javascript" to run the "stored procedure"

Hi,
Change the link to call an apex.submit process. (javascript).
Edit:
I've set up a basic example.
Region 1 (just so you can see the value getting set):
select :P27_HIDDEN item_Value
from dual
Region 2:
select rownum id, dbms_random.string('U', 12) sss
from dual
connect by level <= 20
item attributes for ID:
Target: URL
URL: javascript:apex.submit({request:'NAVIGATE', set:{'P27_HIDDEN':#ID#}});
(P27_HIDDEN is just a hidden item i created)

Edit2:
In your case, then you can just have a page process based on conditions request = expression1, expression1: NAVIGATE..... then a page branch to go to the desired page, also with the same conditions
Edit3:
Im not sure what examples you are referring to , as you didn't supply any links; but you mention calling the stored procedure from javascript, so would likely involve some AJAX, but imo not necessary.
