Currently it is very difficult to have a basic understanding of what kind of link you will be following if you highlight a link using VoiceOver.

In my opinion VoiceOver and Webkit should distinguish between:
1: page/fragment links (same page)
2: domain/safe cors links (same website/security area) 
3: external links (other website/scheme potentially untrusted)

It currently uses "Link <link text>" for all these situations. Making this distinction would make it much easier to navigate safely and would also avoid having to hit VO-shift-U in order to make this important distinction/assessment.
