I'd say mouse-ing over a link is a different action than clicking it. Say you want to read the alt test, or see where the link goes.

There should be a different key for that then. The click action is the most important, so it should have its own dedicated key.
maybe there should be two keybindings for mousing-over and clicking, i'd say hovering is relatively rare in comparison
Maybe? I don't know if there's defined behaviour JS wise for a "click" event not following a "mouseover" though.
There is, you can trigger click events from JavaScript without a mouse going over the element: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement...
