An upcoming feature in Chrome 90 will allow users to create a link to a
section of a website that they’ve highlighted. First launched as a browser
extension called Link to Text Fragment last year, Google has now
added the feature within Chrome itself.

The new feature is still rolling out to users. But the feature works just
like the browser extension did, according to a blog post from Google product
manager Kayce Hawkins. Visit a web page, highlight the text you want to
create a link to, right click and select “copy link to highlight.”
A URL ending in a pound sign (#) is generated, which you can then share with
others. When they open the link, they’ll be sent to the specific highlighted
section instead of the beginning of the page.
Google said the “copy link to highlight” feature is already available on
desktop and Android devices for some users. The feature is “coming soon” to
iOS, the company added.
