No Statusbar? Show Link Target in tooltips (ShowLinksDest)

Just a little macro from a bookmarklet, with thanks to author subsimple and his great site!
http://subsimple.com/bookmarklets/collection_links.php

When you hover the mouse over a link, the statusbar usually shows the link target. If the statusbar is switched off, for example to save screen space, this macro helps to see the link target in a tooltip, directly at the link itself. If it's a linked image, the tooltip shows both, image title and link target:



The macro can only start working after a page has already fully loaded.
By default the macro is active, but you can switch it off/on during a session:
Right-click on a link and at the bottom of the menu click on "Show Link Targets in Tooltip"

Installation as usual:
drop the attached kmm-file into your macros folder and restart browser.

@siria: Thanks, your macro works just fine. I first tried using subsimple's bookmarklet as-is by adding it to my bookmarks, but had to run it on each page, and it also wouldn't work with the JavaScript disabled. As a macro it works all the time, JS or no JS. :cool:

PS: Most of the pages I look at load so fast that a delay on starting the macro wouldn't be very significant.
