Ando, the Lead Quality Assurance Tester for UO, gives some insight on the new targeting system that we will start to see with the release of Publish 40. Wilki is also clarifying that "One of the options in the new targeting system is to cycle through all items on the screen, which includes corpses."

Ando: The Dev Team has just finished making changes to the look of the targeting reticle based on the feedback players provided from the first screenshots. The main intention was to make the reticle fit in more with the look of UO. In addition to that, a colored gem at the top of the reticle is now represents the flagging color of the targeted creature or NPC, rather than changing the color of the entire reticle. Also, the new targeting reticle now incorporates the mini health bar into the bottom portion of it, unless it's an item being targeted.
