An upcoming feature in Chrome 90 will allow users to create a link to a section of a website that they have highlighted. First launched as a browser extension called Link to Text Fragment last year, now Google has added the feature within Chrome itself.
The new feature is still running for users; Even after the update to Chrome 90, I was not able to make it work. blog post From Google Product Manager Kayce Hawkins: Go to a web page, highlight the text you want to link, right click and select “Copy link to highlight”. A URL ending in a pound sign (#) is generated, which you can later share with others. When they open the link, they will be sent to the specific highlighted section instead of the beginning of the page.
An example of what the end result looks like using browser extensions can be found here (but only in Chrome and Edge browsers).
Google said that the “copy link to highlight” feature is already available for some users on desktop and Android devices. The company said the feature was “coming soon” for iOS.
