We actually have a contributed Flash parser, though it obviously 
needs testing. But in Flash, at least, you can see specific URLs as 
such. It's a file format and can generally be split into parsable 
sections. Similarly, I expect someone could work out a parser for 
URLs in QuickTime movies.

JavaScript, on the other hand is a full programming language, so 
you'd have to *run* it to get any sort of URL information. Unless a 
future version becomes "search engine friendly" nothing can (or will) 
improve.
