When a referrer is a blog entry on someone else’s blog, StatWatch should link to that entry in the Top Referrers list with a blog name and title, similar to the links to blog entries in the Top Pages list. You could use pull the page title, TrackBack RDF, or Atom feed.
I’m not sure how best to fetch the referring page, as you don’t want to grab them all in a chunk when the user views the page. You might fetch it when the stats request comes in and pushes the referrer over a certain caringness threshold (10 views, or 5% of views, or enough views to bump it to the Top Referrers list), then save it so you don’t have to refetch it. (Crazy idea: supply a Greasemonkey script that fetches them on the client dynamically after the page loads.)
