Description
Problem
It is very useful with spec-md to be able to share a link to anything:
https://spec-md.com/#sel-EAHHFCAACCyFm2Q
It would be great if we could include this functionality in mdBook.
Proposed Solution
https://github.com/leebyron/spec-md/blob/main/src/client/linkSelections.js is the implementation for md-spec
https://github.com/WesleyAC/deeplinks is another implementation
