For these that can’t get it to work, ensure you are CMD clicking the Title bar, not the URL bar.

I knew about the similar function in the Finder but it never occurred to me to try it elsewhere where it might function analogously. That’s the brilliance of the Mac, these sorts of hidden gems are scattered around, you just have to look close and pick them up.

I used to use this function in the Finder without thinking about it when I worked on other peoples’ Macs, invariably they’d say, “woah, waitaminute, what the hell did you just do there?!?” I’d explain the function and they were blown away.

Mrgann: thanks for the link through to my Tip about the Proxy Icon. The Proxy Icon is particularly handy for eg opening an HTML file you’re working on in a text editor into a web browser. Drag the Proxy Icon from the saved text document into a web browser window.
