My link exchange partners won't be too pleased when they find their inbound links gone.

There's an easy but not perfect way, and a less easy way which I could include in the next release if you prefer.

The easy way is to go to the links admin page and change the setting of force_redirect to 2. This makes all your links completely visible, but it has the side effect that the hit counter no longer works.

An alternative is to edit the links_linkbit template. Find the line which reads

<if condition="$linkurl"><a href="local_links.php?action=jump&amp;id=$linkid" target="_blank"></if>$linkname<if condition="$linkurl"></a></if>

Before the text target="_blank", insert title="$linkurl", i.e.

<if condition="$linkurl"><a href="local_links.php?action=jump&amp;id=$linkid" title="$linkurl" target="_blank"></if>$linkname<if condition="$linkurl"></a></if>

That way, the actual url will become a pop-up when someone hovers over the link.

Please note that this will make the location of all your links and downloads visible, so you will not be able to hide things.
