wp-TrackbackPopup

Description

From the authors of wp-Typography comes wp-TrackbackPopup.

In WordPress the default trackback link behavior causes persistent user confusion. Knowledgeable users right-click on the link and copy the link location. But the vast majority of users click the link — expecting to copy the link from the browser’s location bar — only to be redirected back to the very page they were on. The standard implementation does not provide the expected result.

wp-??TrackbackPopup resolves this issue. It uses unob-tru-sive JavaScript to create a popup win-dow when a user clicks the track-back link. The popup window pro-vides a text ver-sion of the track-back URL for easy copy-ing and pasting.
The popup window may be styled to match your existing theme.
