Wowhead Map Pins Add-on?

I was wondering if there was a map add-on that parsed the data from the Wowhead map pins into a "GartherMate" style visual aid?
Fantasy Example: I'm walking around
Tol Barad
and I want to see at a glance where all the known kill locations for the
Baradin Fox
is, so I type in
/find Baradin Fox
and viola, pins are added to my in-game map as seen here on the Wowhead website.
Anyone know of anything with vaguely similair to this type of functionality or is it simply impossible to pull that kind of data into a library for an add-on?
Thanks for your help!

Alt+Tab, Wowhead is the only way I know how to do this. :P

Dual screen FTW!
However a addon would be great that could take a /script line like they have for linking items

It's possible, as the
LightHeaded
addon (for example) keeps a copy of Wowhead's user comments in its .lua files for quests. As far as I know, they are regularly provided with a database "dump" of the comments by Wowhead's staff, which the addon author then parses and releases as an addon update.
To cut a long story short: an addon like this
could
be made, but as with LightHeaded, the author would require permission from Wowhead before going ahead with it.

Well, you could write a little script that takes all the pins on the maps for a mob's page on Wowhead and converts them into
/way
commands that you can paste into WoW, I guess.

That's what we need to parse : <script type="text/javascript">//<!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,] }
}
};
var myMapper = new Mapper({parent: 'k6b43j6b'});
$WH.gE($WH.ge('locations'), 'a').onclick();
//]]></script>
I think it exceeds the 255-char limit. :p Although, I like the idea. Or having access to WH's database to extract all and every coord's for every NPC in the game. Making the script location-wise would be neat to.

Looks like the best route would be to just use JavaScript as that is, and then use that to concatenate the strings. It's definitely going to be over 255.

That'd take a quite huge database, but something with "
/whloc #npcid
" / "
/whloc hide
" would be awesome in-game, with a chat output that tells you where it's been added to, Tol Barad Peninsula for the example.
