I don't see how this would work -- the mouse-2 binding is typically made in a keymap property on the link itself, as even things that _are_ links use different bindings for mouse-2.

But only on links -- and the code in question would have to react based on the specific kind of link. I think this is unnecessary complexity. > > Why is all of this suddenly so urgent?

I would prefer this to be fixed before 2007. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
