This is an idea I've had in my head for a while and I think it might make an useful addition to HTML5 standard. As this is just an idea I didn't work out all the details. I'm just looking to see if this is something that might be accepted. Use case 1: A document author wants to provide a link to some site. This site has multiple versions of the page depending on where you live (think google.co.uk, google.co.hk, google.com etc) Use case 2: A document author wants to ask users to share his page via the users preferred social network. Something like Please <a href="http://facebook.com">tell your friends</a> about this site! Use case 3: A document author wants to provide a link to search for more information on a preferred search engine. I'd like to leverage the user's bookmarks in these cases by allowing authors to specify markup like case 1: <a goto="google">google</a> case 2: <a goto="social-network">tell your friends</a> case 3: <a goto="search">search!<a> The UA would be responsible for determining which site to link to. A href could be provided as a fallback for old browsers or for sites where the user did not yet make a choice.
