I don't quite understand this. If a user is on my site and then decides to go into his favourites and go to yahoo.com - this won't work. I think you are assuming the user is going to click on something I have set up - I want this to be invisible - however this user decides to leave my site. It appears though from the answers I have received - that this is not possible....
