1 Highlight & link to text fragment on a webpage in Chrome.Here, we’ll explore some Chrome extensions that can be used to generate URLs for web pages with custom highlighted text fragments. And while it’s still in the developing phase and has certain dependencies, it works just fine in most of the cases. What if anyone could generate custom URLs that deep-link to a specific text fragment within the webpage, and also highlight the same? A solution to the problem exists now. But even if the webmaster has implemented such navigation, it isn’t useful when the text fragment you want to refer to is buried deep within a particular section. If a particular web page supports “id” based anchor links, it may be possible to create URLs that jump to a specific section within the page.
The traditional approach is to share the URL with the other person, and let them know separately which section or fragment they should refer to. Sometimes, we might want to share web articles with our peers, trying to draw their attention to specific sections or text fragments within the content.
