Background

When I was searching ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2) via Google with Google-Chrome. The Google’s featured snippets function gives an answer with a URL like this https://careerkarma.com/blog/python-valueerror-too-many-values-to-unpack-expected-2/#:~:text=The%20%E2%80%9Cvalueerror%3A%20too%20many%20values,to%20iterate%20over%20a%20dictionary. Then when I click the snippet, text in the URL param was highlighted, and automatically un-highlight on scrolling. But when I visit the URL directly, nothing happens.

I saw many URLs with the parameter-like trailing characters, #:~:text=.

The question

Is there a way to control Chrome or other browsers to act like Google’s featured snippets. Adding some thing to a URL, so webpage will do make some actions once opened. To be clear, the actions are defined by the trailing characters in the origin URL, instead of javascript: pseudo URL.

Also, some documentation about #:~:text= system (I guess it is a system) will also be appreciated

What I did.

  • The question is answered here already. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62161819/what-exactly-is-the-text-location-hash-in-an-url – Pablo LION Jul 17 '21 at 12:04

    Huh, then why did you ask the question? Was this an attempt at a [self-answer](https://stackoverflow.com/help/self-answer)? Self-answers are fine, but those are generally for questions that are _not_ already available on Stack Overflow. – Ivar Jul 17 '21 at 12:14

    I searched on Stack Overflow, and nothing poped up. Then after I redacted the question, I see the answer. So I think it's not necessary that I delete it, for the purpose of searching. So I did the self-answer, but I dont know how to mark it as [duplicated] nor [solved]. BTW, I accepted the suggestion of duplication. Thanks. – Pablo LION Jul 17 '21 at 14:48
