Getting the clicktext from a browser control

[Bob Sneidar]

Well you can see how that would make the LC browser object horribly insecure. User clicks a link and you take him somewhere completely different? Or somewhere else in another browser object?? EEEEK! I don't think you can get that kind of control, and I would be very afraid if you could.

If the link points to another set of content that isn't loaded yet, nothing happens and I still don't find out about it until browserNavigateComplete is sent. I want to know what link was clicked so I can handle it regardless of the intended link destination. I don't see any way to do that.
