If you have control over the page, you can do it within
the page itself by adding a meta-robots value in the <head>:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow">
Otherwise you can use Exclude By Field to match the URL exactly and select "Links Only".

Actually you want to *exclude* "Pages Only" to exclude the matching page's content but follow it's links.

Thanks. I tried exclude by field to match url and then to exclude pages only, and although the page itself is not coming back in the search results, neither are any of the pages linked to.
