Is there a way I can target only specific links using the pseudo classes?

Say, I want only a specific link to hover and not all.

You could chain 2 pseudo selectors together, like a:hover:nth-of-type(n). n being the number of whatever particular item you would like to have highlighted. I'd recommend just giving the particular item an id or class of its own and then just targeting it that way though. It makes your code a lot less fragile to future modifications.
