Sounds interesting.

I'm not completely sure I know what you mean, but you could always
make a statement about the target, stating what non-HTML type it is
(e.g. image/jpeg), perhaps using something from the Dublin Core
vocabulary [1] or the content module [2]?

I don't know if there's a way to describe what is *embedded* or
referenced in the HTML at some target URL, but presumably you'd want to
hand that off to the browser anyway.
