Yes possible.. 

 

1. Use Apex class to write a controller to get the address wherever you want.

2. Write a VF Page using the controller to call the function in the class

3. Create a button to call this VF page

I would use a trigger, like such:

 

trigger AccountTrigger on Account (before insert, before update) {
	
	List<Account> lst_in = trigger.new;
	for(Account acc:lst_in){
		
		if(acc.BillingCity != null && acc.ShippingCity == null){
			acc.ShippingCity = acc.BillingCity;
		}
		//repeat for other fields
	}
}

Not sure what you mean by "whenever i click the link"

 

If you're new, there is a lot of documentation on developer.force.com, in example: http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Forcedotcomworkbook

 

Have a look at the forc.com, apex, visual force and database workbooks, they helped me out a lot.
