Ah, well in that case, maybe you've just shown the route to a solution: make
sure that both views show the same, real value of the link.

I can see there may be complications in doing that (different display engines
being used) but this seems to be where the insecurity comes from - not from the
user, who's unlikely to understand that the black bar is trying to warn him of
the distinction you've drawn: what it says is nothing like what it seems to
mean. I didn't see it anyway, in spite of having been using the Internet for a
bit longer than five minutes.  :)
