Description
Sorry if the title sucks. I just discovered marks and then realized that it is by url. So If I go to a global mark and then nav anywhere on the page. the next time I want to go to the mark it just opens a tab.
Would It be a bad idea to identify the marked tab another way? Or is the current behavior intentional. I haven't tested this but I wonder if hashes changing in urls even breaks it.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the global-mark behavior described: create a mark, navigate elsewhere in the page, and return to it. Then inspect the existing URL-based mark handling and determine whether URL hashes affect it. The issue needs a decided behavior and a clear completion criterion before implementation can begin.
