--- Comment #2 from Gregor Hagedorn <[email protected]> ---
I remain unconvinced. What other "inspectors" do you want to call on a link?
(An "Open link in new tab" inspector? If yes I propose to integrate such
special case functions in the link inspector itself to keep things simple and
avoid decisions steps up front). 

I fear it will be an even worse user experience if users have to choose between
various "inspectors" for a link. And I fear the choices will be hard to make
until they have read a couple of help pages. This is not what I hope the VE
will achieve...

I would prefer a bit of object-oriented context smartness. Perhaps, to satisfy
the generic design (I can imagine some alternative choices for some other
objects...): why not skip the "choose an inspector" step if there is only one
choice for a given object in a given context? This would easily support cases
where an object may truly need a choice of inspectors, but avoid the clumsiness
of the current approach.

(Note that the tooltip enhancement does not help on modern touch devices, so
making the interaction with links to check link correctness painless remains an
issue.)
