Safari Selection to Fragment Identifier URL

Easily generate a URL including a fragment identifier based on the website and text selected in Safari (MacOS).

Installation

On MacOS, move the Fragment Identifier.workflow file to ~/Library/Services for enabling the "Fragment Identifier" service in Safari.

Usage

1. Select some text on a website.
2. Right-click (or Control-click) on the selected text. Under the Services submenu, you should now see a new item named Fragment Identifier.
3. Click Fragment Identifier.
4. The current website's URL, appended with a fragment identifier for the selected text, will now be copied to your clipboard.
5. Paste your new URL including the fragment identifier wherever you'd like! 🎉

Note

First-Time Users: Initial usage might prompt for permission to use "JavaScript via AppleScript". If you'd prefer not to accept this, consider substituting

set baseURL to do JavaScript "window.location.href" in front document

with

set baseURL to URL of front document

However, when replacing the latter, be aware that the resulting URL may start with "favorites://" if the website you're currently on is also mentioned in your "Favorites".
