I would be interested in this mod, maybe you could post some of the code here.

It shifts through a number of targets, but you won't notice it as it is basically instantaneous. From the user's standpoint, it looks like you just now have a reverse assist key.
When you look at the code, you may think "Agh! awful hack!" because I basically cycle through tab 15 times (or until I find a match). The idea is that it will select the nearest mob to you that has your friendly as its target. The reason for the hack of searching 15 times (or whatever number you want) is because the silly WoW interface is name based, and you can't differentiate reliably between same named mobs.
But this works unless you have more than 15 mobs within TAB targeting range. And I can up the number if someone thinks that is necessary.
Let me try it out in combat tonight, and clean up the debugging information. Then I'll make it available for download by linking it here.
If it seems to work well enough under actual usage, then maybe I'll even post on the UI forum and become famous :rolleyes:
