Description
Firefox version 52.4.0
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
Vimium 1.61.1
On a page where the same link shows up multiple times, e.g. https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__hash__ has plenty of identical links to eq, each links still gets a different link hint. It would be much nicer to give them all the same link hint so that it would be obvious that the various links all go to the same page. It also keeps the number of required link hints down, reducing the needs for longer character sequences.
