Is it possible to view the url of a link as in having the mouse hovering on the link when using f or F?

I actually added this feature in a previous release of cVim but decided to remove it until I could find a better way to implement it. Regardless, I still think this is a good feature to have, and I'll start thinking of some good ways to add it.

Thanks. It's good to see where I'm going when clicking on links, and I've been using the mouse to do that, which totally defeats the purpose of using chromium-vim. Perhaps make the link in focus when using Tab, and Spacebar to confirm 'clicking' (normal keyboard navigation without chromium-vim)? But that would add another keystroke when opening links... This could be added as an option (f and F focus on links) that can be enabled or disabled. This way when enabled, it's possible to perform other actions such as 'Save link as...', 'Save image as...', 'Copy image', 'Open image in new tab' etc., much like right clicking on the link.
