Link to any text on a webpage
When you link to a page, here's how to make that link jump to almost any text on that page you like.
Start with the URL of the page you want to link to.
Example: https://publicture.com/1
Add #:~:text= to it.
Example: https://publicture.com/1#:~:text=
Then add URL encoded text open_in_new quoting where you want the link to jump to.
When visitors follow the link, they should land on the part of the page with the text (that you added to the URL). It should also be highlighted.
Caution: This does not seem to work when the text is within a collapsible section.
For example, if I try linking within this collapsed portion of this article, it fails to open.
(If you want to link inside a collapsed section, try the different option, below.)
A different option: Display #Anchors
An anchor tag is something that a website designer might have included in the code of a web page. If so, you can link to this too.
It will often open a collapsed section if the anchor is within one.
Find the anchors on a web page
The trickiest part of this method is finding a way to reveal the web page's anchor tags. The easiest way I've found is to...
Use either the Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browser.
Install the Display #Anchors extension.
On the extension page, follow the instructions in the About section.
Anchor link example
Here's a link to this Anchor link example section. (Unlike linking to text, you'll notice that it does open the collapsed section; it does not highlight any text.)
