Text fragments are a Chromium feature from a couple years ago. They (#:~:text=) emulate CTRL + F or window.find() from a URL. I experimented in times past with a snippet–like approach using <mark> with URL encoded terms on id + :target logic, such that clicking this link highlights the paragraph below.

The article says ‘boldly link’, but personally fragments (any) work best on infrequently changing content. Long URLs do text fragments make. Annoying? Who knows/cares? They are not everywhere yet (Firefox). On another tangent; I discovered that hugo did have the urlquery function available (that nice blog saved me code surfing).
