**Hello,**

Bookmarks is a super useful feature and personally I use it many times. I am thinking about a little plus which maybe can built in bookmarks.

**Feature** : Bookmark with selection. When you select a text in post there will popup a share and quote panel.

In this panel could appear a **Bookmark** option. So if you click the bookmark it will bookmark the whole post just like now but when you open bookmark it use the highlighted text feature which is now I guess use search if the text matches.

Maybe an anchor will be useful too which goes to the selected text in post when you open bookmark.

**Benefits** : Really helpful if users can separate a huge post to sections and bookmarks the relevant informations from it. 🙂
