Pinpoint

Link anywhere.

Usage

After installing Pinpoint (download and double click on the .safariextz file), Safari will automatically take you to the part of the page the link points to (just like a normal anchor link).

To create your own pins, simply right click on any element on the page, and select "Create Pin" from the menu.

Don't worry, people who don't have Pinpoint installed will still be able to use your pinss; they'll just work like a normal link.

Credit Where It's Due

Pinpoint is built on top of the fantastic work on the original Safari extension by Shaun Inman, and the proposal for CSS selectors as fragment identifiers by Simon St.Laurent and Eric Meyer.
