Hi John,
I can't resist responding to some of these points.

I wanted to keep it generic, since the "URL panel" name is no longer
accurate, but hints_information is probably generic to the point of
meaninglessness. Perhaps something like "link properties mode". But the
primary purpose is still to show the URL, so perhaps a name based on
that is still fine; hints-url-mode.

Putting these rules in a theme works fine:
#minibuffer-input [anonid="annotation"] {
color: blue;
}
#minibuffer-input .textbox-input-box {
width: 10em;
}
#minibuffer-input [anonid="strut"] {
padding-right: 2em !important;
}

The placing of numbers in the prompt is peculiar. An alternative would
be to put the number in a new label between the input box and the
annotation. But that wouldn't work well when the annotation is
disabled.
