You could imagine also if a web browser uses leaftag, it will tag the url and also store the url <title> for later use. The deksbar handler will just have generic call to get_title or get_content or get_description or whatever it ends up being.. So in this case i'd suggest to patch (or maybe just use the mechanism they have, if any) leaftag to record these data in the db.. Raf
