Yes, I understand your point, and *might* even have use of such data
at some point in time.

Actually, it looks like what you want is already in the code, just
waiting for someone (like yourself) to "activate" it.
Near the top of the LYList.c file, we find:
/* showlist - F.Macrides (address@hidden)
** --------
** Create a temporary text/html file with a list of links to
** HyperText References in the current document.
**
** On entry
** titles Set: if we want titles where available
** Clear: we only get addresses.
*/ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So it looks like about all you'd need to do, is clone the L-page
invoking case in LYMainLoop.c, call showlist() with the flag set
to FALSE instead of TRUE, name the new form of L-page something
else (say, A-page), and add a couple of entries for the new command
to LYKeymap.[ch] (plus add the documentation, of course :-) ).
Poof!
Why not give it a try ...?
