Looping through all output of a RegExp extractor (without the for each controller)

I forget why the user couldnt use a For Each controller , but heres how to loop through the result of a Regex Post Processor that returns multiple values

ThreadGroup
+HttpSampler
++Regex Extractor (variableName = links)
+WhileController(${__javaScript(${C} < ${links_matchNr})})
++HTTPSampler use ${__V(links_${C})} to access the current result
++Counter (start=1,increment=1,maximum=${links_matchNr},referenceName=C)
