If you\’ve enabled the status bar option under the View menu in Safari, you can see the link target as you mouse over a link.
If a link will open in a new window, the status bar says:
Open \”http://www.domain.com/\” in a new window.Also, if you\’re holding down the Option key it changes to:
Download \”http://www.domain.com/\”The Command key forces the link to open in a new window, and so the status bar displays:
Open \”http://www.domain.com/\” in a new window.Hold down the Control key and the status display again changes to:
Display a menu for \”http://www.domain.com/\”
