Hm...  I think it would vary whether a user would want to do this or
not.  Hm...  Perhaps a `C-u' to `eww-copy-page-url' could make the
command do this?

I don't think any other web browsers offer to make links to random id'd
elements in the DOM, do they?  id's aren't displayed visually -- they're
an internal DOM thing, so the user has no idea whether an element has an
id, or whether that id has a semantic meaning or not (they're usually
just put on elements so that they can be manipulated from Javascript).

So I'm sceptical that this would be useful in practice.
