Hmm? I meant, instead of taking a web clipping or screenshot, I keep only a link to the page in question (and submit it to the archive if it wasn't already crawled). Though I'm still not happy with how I track what part of a page

These days I tend to rely on archive.org (+ archive.today) and a plain link rather than web clipping tools. I just find it more useful coming back later to have access to the full fidelity of a page and its context. It also feels appropriat
