Yes, I was referring either to a rank that pops up when the mouse is hovering over the argument or (as in your second case regarding touch screens) to hotlinks from "x" and "y" to pages displaying their appropriate rank designations. (There are only a handful of possibilities, so all args would point to one of these.) I prefer the popup approach, but I can also see the value of hotlinking as more and more people having handhelds.
