Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported difference between url("#example") and url("example.svg#id") in a page served by Live Preview, then trace how the local server handles SVG fragment URLs. The issue is done when an SVG file URL used in a CSS clip path resolves correctly in the preview, matching browser behavior.
