This is a good idea to a very niche but annoying problem I've certainly faced. I've always used the "Copy link to text" option in Chrome for this but that doesn't always work when the formatting is a little complex.

"Copy link to highlight" is a great feature indeed. Pretty much an anchor-link-on-demand. I just wish it was fully supported across browsers. Seems like Desktop Chrome/Edge support creating links to and showing highlighted text, Safari/Android Chrome supports showing highlighted text but not creating the links, and Firefox supports none of it. I should make a bookmarklet/extension for this...

  There's already a firefox extension [0] based on the exact code that google started with for chrome. I remember being a little annoyed by those fake anchor links when they first appeared, but I've since softened to the concept. 0: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/link-to-text-fragment/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/link-to-text-...
