You can see the full URL in the status bar if you hover over an entry. 
Is this sufficient or do you expect something else?
I guess that won't work for touch devices.
Hm, what cases are you thinking of, where I need a URL but clicking on the history entry or copying the URL is not the right approach?
I guess my point is about transparency and usability in general. Sometimes the full URL is needed to determine whether a history item is sensitive and should be deleted. Sometimes the title is useless for identifying a specific history item (cf. screenshot for case in point).
