I agree, that would be nice. ^^, I hate having to click those links when I would've known it by the name.
They mentioned working on making wowhead links show directly as the name of the item or whatever. They might be working this idea in there. Would be silly if only NPC links were not autofiltered, when first making that system.
Wouldn't it also be possible to show the frontpage screenshot (if it exists), just to increase the awesomeness factor?

This is something that has been considered before, though the conflict at the time that it came up was about how much information to place in the popup tooltips. Picture, hp, name, etc etc.

How about just the name and where they are generally found?

I think it should just be similar basic info as in the game like the other tooltips in power.js, at the very least as a starting point.

I think now that I'd go with name and zone, personally. I advocated for pictures originally, like WoWWiki does... but pictures are a little too much.

Neura
Level 70 Humanoid
Adolescent Whelp
Level 34 - 35 Dragonkin
Expanding upon that, this is what I think:
{npc_name}
<{npc_subtitle}>
Level {npc_level} {npc_race}
{npc_zone} ({npc_coordinates})
e.g.:
http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=5109
Myra Tyrngaarde
<Bread Vendor>
Level 30 Humanoid
Ironforge
^ Myra has various locations as she has a patrol path. Either nix the (...) or make it something like (various).

Bailey Stonemantle
<Banker>
Level 45 Humanoid
Ironforge (35, 60)
http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=9859
Auctioneer Lympkin
Level 50 Humanoid
Ironforge (25, 75)
^ No subtitle. Cut that line out.
