Currently the https://pragma.archivelab.org/playback/:id interface only works if an annotation is saved having a value of {"id": "xxx"} where xxx is some css ID which can be found within the Save Page Now'd webpage. It would be nice if an annotation could save a javascript selection and the /playback javascript was capable of (after loading the desired pragma wayback ID to playback) surrounding the selection with a span which could then be styled. i.e. extend citations to arbitrary selections (or at least also support css classes) instead of just css IDs.
