Create Link to Text

When you need colleagues, students, or clients to land on—and visibly notice—a specific sentence, the text-fragment format (#:~:text=) is the fastest route. Create Link to Text packages that power into a lightweight, privacy-respecting extension that anyone can master in seconds. How it works Highlight any passage on a web page—from a single phrase to an entire paragraph. Right-click → “Copy link to selected text.” (A configurable keyboard shortcut—Alt + L by default—does the same thing.) The extension generates a deep-link that scrolls recipients directly to the highlighted text, copies it to your clipboard, and flashes a green ✓ Copied! toast for confirmation. Five reasons this extension belongs in every knowledge worker’s toolkit Pinpoint context in crowded threads – Deep links prevent “I don’t see that” confusion on Slack, Teams, or GitHub issues. Faster feedback cycles – Designers and PMs can point reviewers to the exact spec clause or Figma changelog line in one click. Cleaner documentation – Wikis and README files stay concise when you can link out to a single authoritative sentence instead of embedding screenshots. Who benefits most? User group Journalists & bloggers Cite precise quotes within long investigative pieces Readers jump straight to primary evidence Educators & students Reference textbook or article segments in online syllabi Saves scrolling time during class discussions Developers & technical writers Highlight API caveats, code snippets, or PR comments Fewer mis-read pull requests and bug reports Product managers & UX researchers Point teammates to exact survey answers or user feedback lines Speeds up decision-making in sprints Legal & compliance teams Direct colleagues to contract clauses or regulatory text Mitigates risk of misinterpretation Scrolling and eye-scanning consume far more mental energy than most teams realise. Multiply those seconds by every message your organisation sends each week and the lost focus compounds fast. Create Link to Text converts that waste into precision, clarity, and speed
