144739 - [RFE] statusbar should indicate if clicking link will open a new window

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 14027

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, enhancement)

Description

[Lars Hugentobler]

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"
