Granted, but does the hover URL do much to protect you from offensive content? It sounds like you're a technically sophisticated person who's worried about being pranked by other technically sophisticated people. Therefore, I assume they are capable of using a URL shortener or a misleading file name to trick you. Seeing the URL ahead of time doesn't help in these situations, unless you simply refuse to click on links whose destinations you can't identify with certainty.
