This extension allows for easily creating a special link to the currently selected text on a page via the context menu. When opening such a special link, a compatible browser will scroll the selected text into view and highlight it.

Usage instructions:

• Select the text that you want to link to.
• Right-click and choose "Copy Link to Selected Text" from the context menu.
• If the link creation succeeded, the selected text will be briefly highlighted in yellow.
• Paste your link wherever you want to share it.
• 💡 Pro-tip: you can assign a keyboard shortcut to the copy action!

This works and then it doesn't. No rhyme or reason for it to work on a site once then within a few days NOT work on the same site. Make no difference on account type (EDU or Public), how much text is selected, settings in Chrome, ... Really wish it would work more than 20% of the time.

Does not work. Every link created with tihs extension simply pulls up the website as normal, and does not link to the specific part of the page. Unfortuante.

It doesn't work, it just take you to the top of the page, so what's the point using it if doens't take you where you want and it can´t be highlighted (for security reasons).

I hope you can take into account the comments and develop a better tool for different purposes.

Chrome has internal feature for this but it is disabled on a lot of websites. So, I end up keeping this enabled for cases where Chrome seems to believe the link won't work but it does using this app.
