Description

Is it possible to add some functionality to switch scroll if the website has multiple?
I know that when you call LinkHints by 'f' it also select shows you window with scroll which you can switch, but on some websites there are a lot of hints and difficult to find the hint which is responsible to switching the scroll.
With using Use the link's name and characters for link-hint filtering it's easier to switch scroll, because it show hint with name scroll, but if I don't want to enable link-hint filtering.

I would expect hints which related to scroll show in different color, to make them noticeable.
Or maybe automatically assign number for scroll, if you don't use link-hint filtering.

Research direction

Start by tracing LinkHints invoked by the f key and the scroll-selection window described in the issue. Determine how scroll-related hints are identified and rendered, then clarify whether completion means a distinct hint color, automatic numbering, or another agreed behavior; verify the chosen behavior on pages with many hints and multiple scroll targets.
