317734 - Can't tell if link will forcibly open in new window

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 257600

(Camino Graveyard :: Toolbars & Menus, enhancement)

Description

[Pierre Houston]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051107 Camino/1.0b1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051107 Camino/1.0b1

A hint in the status bar that the link will open in a new window would be helpful

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hover over a link that damands to open in a new window
2. Look at the status bar (or whatever its called) at the bottom of the window

Actual Results:  
Displays URL of link

Expected Results:  
Displays URL plus some indication that page will open in a new window

I know this copies Safari, but it doesn't have to be done in exactly the same way, and it would be helpful. It would accompany another new feature I'd like to see: open link in <i>same window</i> in the contextual menu.
