in this case it looked OK

> Though existing HTML support for id and name attributes specifies the target element directly in the fragment, most other mime types make use of this x=y pattern in the fragment, such as Media Fragments (e.g. #track=audio&t=10,20), PDF (e.g. #page=12) or CSV (e.g. #row=4).

fragments is already there but most pages do not have a clickable ID attribute. If Chrome could automatically provide one I think it's more convenient than F12 a devtool for links.

Although there already was a proposed standard by a W3C group for doing this, although it is a lot more complicated (with a bunch of variations, but even implementing one of those would be nice): https://www.w3.org/TR/selectors-states/#json-examples-conver...
