While that kind of magic would be quite helpful in most cases, I could imagine posts where either the author **did not intend to link to a specific line** (but got the link from somewhere else, or clicked on the line), but actually the file (or that line in the file), in the latest version.

Maybe a hint in a popover:

> Would you like to use a permalink instead? _[learn more]_

Where the _learn more_ button expands the popup and explains a bit about permalinks.
