Expose interface for generating a link to a text node in the reader
Feature Description
We already have the underlying structure in place to allow users to link to specific places in a text, but we haven't yet exposed that in the UI. we should.
Why is this feature important? Who does it help?
People can use this to share links to specific places in a text with others. It could also be used in ways related to the Citation Loop feature request, which I've linked to here.
Development Notes
From Zach:
For reference, you can append a hash to a ready URL that looks like this:
#node-2bf2b23c12b5b559014b74dbf1af8a5302a410c2
That ID references the data-node-uuid property on a given text node in the reader. And Manifold will scroll to that position.
