Opera currently does that with CSS, in something of a hack they did for
WML support, if I remember the story.
I covered it about two years ago at:
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/04/19/opera/index.html
The key bit is this one:
title {color:blue;
text-decoration:underline;
set-link-source:attr(href);
use-link-source:current;}
There's also info at:
http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/
The W3C also has a note on similar possibilities in WXS:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xlink-naming/
It does, however, require new datatypes and the PSVI.
