Research direction

Start by reproducing follow-link navigation with a marker labeled "2" alongside several markers beginning with "2", using the linked screenshot as context. Trace the marker matching and selection behavior in the follow-link entry point; done means typing "2" can navigate to the intended "2" marker without the other "2*" markers causing ambiguity.
