Is it possible to view link URLs on hover?

[SurealCereal]

When previewing markdown, it would be useful to see where a link will go to when hovering over it. Is this possible at present?

@SurealCereal, currently link hover displays link title if it is provided [link text](link url "link title"), I will check if I can add JS code to display the link URL on link hover in the status bar.

@vsch Thanks for the tip; I'll use those link titles in the meantime.

@SurealCereal, actually I can add an option to use the URL as the title if no actual title is provided. This way links will have a default title equal to the URL.

I will let you know when an EAP release with the fix is available.

@SurealCereal, EAP update with a fix for the issue is available.

@vsch I tried the EAP update and it works well. Much appreciated! Its definitely easy to see where a link goes now. It would be great if the URL could be shown immediately when the cursor enters a link in the status bar of the preview (if there is such a thing) like Firefox and Chrome do, but that's definitely an optional extra. In the meantime, this tooltip solution is a huge improvement.
