I recommend this wish be closed.
Mech Link objects already support title attributes some because extra
attributes can be passed in to the new() constructor, and received
through attrs(). The find_links() method already provides numerous ways
to find links, and I'm interested in keeping uncommonly needed features
of the Mech core.
If there is continued interest to have this, it would be best to see if
it can be implemented through a plugin, as WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable
supports. If that's possible, it would be interesting to know the
details, so that Mech an be extended to better support these kind of
plugins.
