Details

many sites feature both links opened in the current window and others which create a new browser window. IWBNI the status bar would include a hint if the latter case is likely to happen. i imagine 100% accuracy to be somewhat difficult, but checking for and indicating use of reserved targetnames (_blank, _new, ..?) should be relatively easy. html example: <a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org" target="_blank">bugzilla</a> expected behaviour: on mouseover, statusbar reports something similar to "http://bugzilla.mozilla.org (new window)" actual behaviour: on mouseover, statusbar reports "http://bugzilla.mozilla.org"
