Single-buttoners may not be able to click, btw, but they can get a context menu with click-and-hold. I'm sticking to my trackback links, which look cleaner.

Right-click and copy it to ping this entry.</q> At the moment all people get is <q>1 Need a Source URL (url)</q> in <acronym title="eXtendable Markup Language">XML</acronym>. Not tremendously helpful, even to someone who knows something about TrackBack and XML. Kevin had a great idea to use something like <tt>OnClick="alert('[helpful message]');return false;"</tt> on the link to tell people what's going on, but unfortunately that applies on either right- or left-clicks. So no good solution yet.
