Did not know about the drop down list. Can someone post pics (i can do it in 3 hours)
I would but Im lazy 
It is cool though..I always got annoyed when someone sent me a power link for say..a corr, and I was on a scrapper, and got weird numbers! Every time..I would think..why can't we change it!!
Here they are:
You can also change the level it's showing you by moving the slider

People used this feature on Beta a while back and discovered something the devs continue to disavow any knowledge of. I think they fixed it so it won't show anymore but I can't be bothered to check.
"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill
We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...
One thing should be noted: This only changes the attribute modifiers the game's using to calculate the numbers. If you're looking at, say, the Blaster version of an attack, you'll see the hefty self +damage from defiance. Using the drop-down to check a Corruptor's numbers won't change the window to be looking at the Corruptor version of the power (It's a whole separate power internally), so that +damage buff won't be replaced with a chance for extra damage from Scourge.
Just something to keep in mind.

It's actually been there since before that. It's been there since we had the Detailed Info part of the power window, which existed before linking did, alongside or soon after the devs rejected Jack Emmert's "players don't care about numbers" idea.

I am sure some people knew this..but I only just discovered it today, and was pretty excited.
Say you link a power, so it appears in the chat as [WtfAwesomeness], in clickable link form. Then you click it, bringing up the power info, and a tab with Detailed info. Click this.
You now get the..detailed info (wow, it did what we wanted?) and WatAwesomeness, as used by a level XX AT. The At text is green, and I never thought it meant anything..BUT...
Click the AT text, and you get a drop down menu were you can select any AT! And see how the power stats change.
I thought it was neat!
