Create Link to Text

About

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.
