Vimium: Feature Request: Focus Links (without clicking)

[NoisomePossum]

This was a feature I got really used to in VimFX and it would be great to have it here.

Description
I'd like to be able to select links using their shortcuts just as when using 'f' or 'F' but, instead of actually clicking on the link, the plugin should simply put the keyboard focus on that element.

Use-cases
1) On some pages you can't scroll using either the browser's native scroll functions (arrow keys) or Vimium's shortcuts because the page puts keyboard focus somewhere that isn't very useful such as a menu button. The search function sometimes works to get around this but not always. Being able to focus a specific element inside the section you want to scroll is super helpful for solving this kind of problem.

2) Drop-downs or other unfolding menus are currently a bit hard to work with because they get clicked immediately when you access them with Vimium's shortcuts. This often results in the page being reloaded.

Additional use-case

1. Sometimes it's wise to check the destination URL of a link element. To do that the user should be able to focus the link to see its href in the browser status bar.
