This is the kind of thing that we inherit directly from the underlying web
browser component. So if the Mozilla folks implement that feature in
embeddable Mozilla, we'll get it automatically, and if they don't, it's
unlikely to show up.

You might also want to look into adding this to the nautilus-gtkhtml
component, if you are a fan of that one -- although it's not shipped with
Nautilus, I hear it's a fairly capable replacement for the Mozilla
component.
