I'm not sure I fully understand that last syntax.

I am ready to accept that the *actual* resource is abstract, and that I
can only get representations of it with my web browser.
However if I want to make a link from my homepage to some interesting
page on the web, what means do I have to know *what* I'm actually
pointing to ?...

For example, most W3C documents provide, at their beginning, the "this
version" URL, by contrast to the "last version" URL. More generally, how
coul I get the "most specific URI" for the sequence of 0's and 1's I'm
currently reading in my browser ?
New HTTP header field ?
