This enhancement would allow the user to see if the link is to be opened in new
or current window. Example: I browse through google search results. When the
mouse pointer is over the link the statusbar should display: Go to
http://www.xyz.com. When I press the cmd key it means that I want to open the
link in new tab (or window, depends on the pref), so the text in statusbar
should change to: Open http://www.xyz.com in new tab. When let's say I browse
some other pages where links open in new windows, Mozilla should, when the mouse
pointer is over the link, display a text in statusbar: Open http://www.abc.com
in new window. And as in previous example when I press cmd, the text should
change into ...in new tab. Moreover, pressing for example shift with a
new-window-opening link should force mozilla not to open it in new window, but
in current one. And so on.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:





Please, see Safari on MacOS X where this feature is very well implemented.
