Everyone one likes to know what a link will do b4 u click it.
So we now have lovely icons (thanks to css) that tell us if a link is a pdf, jpg, mp3 or whatever.
I’m not completely convinced by it all as an accessibility thing, but i like tiny pixel drawings as much as the next person
We also have icons identifying an external link / resource, but what i was looking for is a different ICON that says “I’m a local resource, but when you click me I happen to open in a new window”. Got css, need icon.
The nice people on the brighton new media list sent me in the direction of this on latest7

and this less 2.0 version

It would be nice to have a standard for these little icons.
