[Greasemonkey] GM_openInTab - tab's label

Mon Jul 10 20:23:17 EDT 2006

This is also a problem when the document being loaded in the new tab is an
image (with a data: url).  In this case its not possible to supply a <title>
tag or to manipulate the document with a script in any way.

A similar problem (although not related to GM) happens when downloading an
object with a data url: the download dialog shows the url instead of  a more
friendly name.

Taken by the analogy with MIME format in mail attachments, I tried supplying
a 'name' argument to the application type:

'data:image/png;name="icon.png";base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUh...'

but unfortunately it didn't work, neither for the download dialog nor for
GM_openInTab. Any other idea?
