Could anyone point me to some kind of hack or something that will let me "hide" the linkout URL for directory links?
For example, if I link to ESPN in my directory, the link that displays is something along the lines of http://mysite.com/links/2 with modrewrite turned on. I would like it to display the actual URL; in this case, www.espn.com.
I searched and didn't see anything.
On an unrelated note, I would also like to display the actual URL right after the site title, but not as a functioning link (so the visitor has to click the link title to visit the site). It looks like I would add something in the link details template and maybe the CSS, but I'm not sure how it could be done. Could anyone give me some pointers?

This only works in IE. Firefox will not display anything in the status bar for the link and Opera just ignores it altogether and continues to display the link as though you did nothing at all.

You can do something like this:

There's probably something at dynamicdrive.com for it.
