When I go to a site and click on the NS button in the status bar, I will see a list of sites that want to run scripts that I can allow or forbid. Like this:

The big problem with this is that often we do not know who a site is or what they want to run or why they want to/need to run a script.
In the above example, with the latest NS release, I saw the site www.flattr.com. I had no idea what this was and I was not going to pause and take the time to figure it out. Later, I looked at the site and saw that it is a "social micropayment" (i.e. donation) site.
Would it be possible to make links to a site live in the NS pop-up so that one could click on the site name and have it open directly in a new tab to easily examine it before making a decision as to whether to allow it or not?
