Description
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
Browsers are able to recognize an URL like this and play it directly:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7f/Frances_Alda%2C_O_mio_babbino_caro_%28Gianni_Schicchi%29.ogg#t=30
Additionally, they interpret the #t=30 as anchor, i.e. timestamp to jump to.
For directly passing these URLs to mpv, it would be nice if mpv can interpret them, too.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how mpv parses URL fragments and converts input URLs into playback options, then check how timestamp seeks are represented. Done means a URL ending in #t=30 reaches mpv and begins playback at 30 seconds, with coverage for the behavior.
