Description

Vimium's link hints feature is a lifesaver for me. Unfortunately, lots of websites use links that aren't really tags. This makes Vimium not see these links as clickable, and therefore not support them in link hints. I really wish that Vimium's configuration had a field where I could put in a list of CSS selectors that will always be seen as clickable by Vimium, and therefore usable in link hints.

What do you think?

Research direction

Start by locating Vimium's link hints implementation and configuration handling, then trace how clickable DOM elements are identified. The work is done when users can configure CSS selectors for additional clickable elements and those elements appear in link hints.
