Doh.. If I get you right, it should be as simple as:
$('.test').click(function() {
console.log(this.id);
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<a href="#" class="test" id="test_1">Some text</a>
<a href="#" class="test" id="test_2">Some text</a>
<a href="#" class="test" id="test_3">Some text</a>
You can just access the id property over the underlaying dom node, within the event handler.
