Link to Text Fragment

The Link to Text Fragment Chrome extension allows users to create direct links to specific text selections on web pages.

When opened, these links will scroll the text into view and highlight it for quick access.

Key Features:

  • Easy Link Creation: Just select your text, right-click, and choose "Copy Link to Selected Text" from the context menu.
  • Rich Links: Activate additional features in the options to copy rich links for enhanced context.
  • Quick Sharing: Paste your links wherever needed; they'll direct users to highlighted text in supported browsers.
  • Keyboard Shortcuts: Assign a shortcut for even quicker link creation.

This open-source extension is a must-have for those looking to enhance their web navigation and sharing capabilities. Check out the demo video and installation page for more details!

Расширение полностью выполняет свой функционал по копированию ссылки на выделенный текст. А флаг "chrome://flags/#copy-link-to-text" доступен не во всех браузерах основанных на Chromium.
