10.3: AppleScript and Safari clickable link example

Just noticed this today while perusing the AppleScript area at Apple. I was looking for GUI Scripting to do download and install, but they seem to indicate that GUI Scripting is installed by default in Panther. One thing that I noticed on this page ... there is a little yellow "callout box" with this text:

If you're using Mac OS X version 10.3, click this icon to automatically open the script example in the Script Editor application.
Alogn with the text is a little ApplScript document icon. If you click the icon, sure enough the sample script visible on the web page is opened cleanly in Script Editor. Pretty nifty!

[robg adds: Use the "View Source" feature to see the complex <a href> tag they use to create the clickable icon; it's an interesting example of web / desktop integration.]
