TIL: you can scroll to text fragments directly with links by adding "#:~:text=<url-encoded-text>".

Supporting browsers will jump to the first of the given text blocks, and highlight all of them if you supply multiple. It's supported by Chrome and Safari, but with Firefox aiming to add support at some point. There's also a cool plugin to generate links like that for you.
