Description

Suggestion from @joneshf. Now that instance docs are displayed, it makes a lot more sense to provide a (#) link which points to a specific instance, for sharing the URL. E.g. https://pursuit.purescript.org/packages/purescript-prelude/3.1.0/docs/Data.Functor#v:functorArray

Research direction

First check whether instance documentation and the requested URL pattern still exist, since this issue has been inactive for years. Then locate the code that renders instance documentation and compare its links with the example URL; done means each instance has a shareable anchor link without breaking existing documentation navigation.
