Description Shift 2004-09-13 00:26:06 UTC 
Version:           3.3 (using KDE 3.3.0, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.1 (Mandrakelinux (Alpha 3.4.1-3mdk)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8.1-8mdk

Is it possible to add access to the "cite" attribut of a quotation ("blockquote" or "q" tags) ?

Perhaps by adding a "Go to the source of this quotation" in the contextual menu. Or in a tooltip (popup bubble ?) with link ?

Here is the w3c specification about "cite" attribut :  http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/text.html#adef-cite-Q

Thanks,

Franck

Seven years later, does it work? I still find it necessary, in the same way as removing extra markup for rounded corners was.

As well as Opera's Cascading link

Explanation in French: http://www.blog-and-blues.org/weblog/2004/08/24/284-attribut-cite-pseudo-lien
The important part is (Opera-only by the time the article was written):

q[cite], blockquote[cite] {
  -o-link: attr(cite);
  -o-link-source: current;
  cursor: pointer;
}

Thank you!
