I don't find anything to get the text directly. A workaround could be:

When you load the webview, you parse the html. Like described here

There you save all the links in a map, using the url as key and the text as value.

Then:

webview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {

        String text = map.get(url);

        return super.shouldOverrideUrlLoading(view, url);
      }
});
