There are a few options to add to "-dump" to get different appearance -

That's done with the "-nolist" option, which currently suppresses all of 
the links.  You can get just the list of links (the reference section)
using "-listonly".

For getting the links by themselves, I've a development patch against 
2.8.7dev.8 which is in that area:

* modify behavior of "-nonumbers" option for -dump so it can be combined with
  -listonly to obtain a list of the URLs without reference numbers (Debian
  #398283) -TD

(I'll put out dev.9 once I'm done with some ongoing changes for the SSL
interface).
