I don't think that would be an issue as people would get used to it, but it shouldn't be needed (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39065835).

Technically it's very easy to add the black bar as it's already added manually and all that would be needed is to add a "data-id=" which would contain the news ID and a regular "id" to the black bar's "<td>" and once clicked it would send you to "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=[DATA-ID]" (perhaps also add "cursor: pointer" to the CSS as well to change the cursor when its hovered).

Again, this is trivial and can be done with minimal work, but it should not be needed at all.
