Multiple-Target Hyperlinks for the Masses

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the lobby-the-slash-coders-forever dept.

DukunSakti writes "For a long time people have talked about getting browser support for multilink feature. A multilink is a link that points to more than one targets. It's useful because many times a single target is not sufficient to describe a link. Wikipedia has numerous examples of acronyms and abbreviations that expand to more than one term. Well, I got sick of waiting, and so I wrote a plugin for the excellent Wiki application PmWiki that adds the multilink feature. This is fully supported under Mozilla Firefox, but only partially under Internet Explorer."

    Ah, never mind, I figured it out. Yay for not being able to delete my own posts. :(

  4. Why multilink is bad. by Hecatonchires · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Multilink allows bad sites to include bad links on their nominal 'good' links. Kinda hard not to click that link when its included as the second link on every one you click.
