This is so easy with jquery:

If below is your anchor link:

In the show event of your modal you can access to the anchor tag like below

//triggered when modal is shown
$('#modal_id').on('shown.bs.modal', function(event) {

    // The reference tag is your anchor tag here
    var reference_tag = $(event.relatedTarget); 
    var id = reference_tag.data('id')
    // ...
    // ...
})
