Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be neat to allow deep links to a specific part of a schematic or PCB.

Describe alternatives you've considered

none.

Additional context

Say I want to share a specific trace a user should look at for debugging. I could find it in Kicanvas and the URL would be updated so I could directly share it and the other user would see the same state as I see.

As I was almost about to file a duplicate because I searched for the wrong terms, adding some search keywords: The open page, selected component or active net could be set in the fragment identifier of the URI (URL), or be shown through a permalink button, so that the user gets routed right to the intended location.
