Text fragment links

In a similar way to how you can link to an id attribute with an anchor link (#id_name_here), you can link to a particular snippet of text on the page:

https://example.com/page.html#:~:text=text%20to%20link

When a user goes to that link, it will open page.html, find text to link, and scroll to the first instance.

Very handy!

Supported already in Chrome, and Firefox and Safari support is coming shortly.
