Haven't looked at the HotWired site, but that's the technique
that Eureka on the Web uses for 856 (Electronic Access) fields:
that is, a new instantiation of Netscape opens on the
resource, while Eureka on the Web remains active.
It is, indeed, a practical way to retain context.

 [And no, I don't think this technique was my idea;
 it probably came from the Web experts working on
 Eureka on the Web.]
