Changes

We would also like to be able to track the types of transitions: regular link following, bookmark opening, typing, and redirects. There would also be other flags, such as opened in new window and opened in new tab.

The current system keeps track of whether URLs in history were typed. This is used to boost the ranking of those pages in autocomplete. When the user types a URL into the browser, the javascript code in the browser calls the history system and notifies it that the URL has been typed. The history system will set the flag on the corresponding history entry (if it is not already set).
