Highlink is a Chrome extension designed to enhance the way users interact with web content by generating unique URL links to selected text on webpages. This tool is particularly beneficial for technical paper writers, allowing them to efficiently create annotations, references, and quotes directly from their sources. With its straightforward functionality, users can quickly turn any text selection into a shareable link.

To use Highlink, simply select the desired text, right-click it, and choose "Get Highlink to selection" from the context menu. The generated link will be copied to the clipboard, ready to be pasted wherever needed. This open-source extension adheres to the Apache 2.0 license, and it utilizes the Text Fragments specification to streamline the process of linking to specific content on the web.
