Description:
Mainly in the file includes/Linker.php in the function getExternalLinkAttributes just before return $r; and one in getInternalLinkAttributes same location.
This would allow a few significant changes to the way links are placed online. Some prefer to not show titles, but it also could lead to more extensive implementations like different tracking methods (Google Analytics for one).
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

I believe between the LinkBegin, LinkEnd, and LinkerMakeExternalLink hooks, there should be sufficient extension functionality.
