Fragmentions – linking to any text

Yes please.<p>Right now, &quot;bookmarks&quot; are not what we traditionally have used bookmarks for. A bookmark marks a place <i>within</i> a book, but a web bookmark marks the book, or a chapter within a book.<p>You may say a web page is a page, but if I&#x27;m working through a long and dense page I&#x27;d like to be able to mark and remember where on that page I was when I come back a day or few later. And as the article points out, I don&#x27;t want to have to inspect the source for linkable parts that may or may not have been put there.<p>If there&#x27;s no web standard for this in the future, it seems at least ripe for a browser addon.

So you want an extension that lets you select some text and bookmark it as a fragmention? Sounds possible.
