When one places the mouse pointer over a link, it's be useful (specially to web
developers) to show in the bottom status bar not only the URL that it will go
to, but the target as well (i.e.: the frame name for example).
To avoid confusion, I suggest to make it look something like this example:

URL: http://mozilla.org     Target: _mainFrame

I don't think this is useful in most current sites, since frames are being
deprecated by the w3c, and most users wouldn't understand it.  Especially since
if I have frames foo/bar/baz, what does it mean to the user if we tell them
Target: baz, since they have no way of discovering which frame baz is?  That's
again assuming they even know what frames are.  

This might be useful for a limited group of people, but is more likely to
confuse users than to aid them.
