This answer can diffenently help you.

You'll need a reference to this some where on your page. Add that JS file to your Layouts folder.

Add an HTML Form Web Part to the page and add a reference to the spservices.js file and then add the linked answer script below.

Your final result should look something like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/myJavascripts/spservices.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$().SPServices({
    operation: "GetUserInfo",
    async: false,
    userLoginName: $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser(),
    completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
        $(xData.responseXML).find("User").each(function() {
            curUserId = $(this).attr("ID");
            curUserName = $(this).attr("Name");
            curFullUserName = $(this).attr("ID")+";#"+$(this).attr("Name");
        });
    }
});
</script>

All you have to do from here is add some javascript or jquery which will add the information to the link webpart's URls and then you should be good to go!

Hope this helps :)

You could do it this way:

1) Create a custom Sharepoint application page, under _layouts.

2) Create links to this page, using a query string for the target url e.g. YOUR APP PAGE.aspx?site=www.yahoo.com

3) In the app page code, append the current user id to the target url and redirect.
