I'd assume a hash of the content would be included with the link, and if the hash changes, then it would make a best-effort guess at the right location, with a different color highlight indicating that it's a guess. At least that's how I would do it.

What would you hash though? Content on a page changes frequently and dynamically so the hash would mismatch very frequently.
