[w3c/selection-api] Feature: API to convert Selection into a URL (Issue #362)

martinthomson created an issue (w3c/selection-api#362)

## Use case

I have an application that annotates selections of an active document. Those annotations will live outside of the document.  I want to be able to provide a reference to the specific selection as [a text fragment URL](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/URI/Reference/Fragment/Text_fragments).

## Possible solution

The `Selection` interface provides a bunch of helpful hooks, but the process that might produce a text fragment URL is pretty complicated.  Implementing that is something I could ask an LLM to do at the cost of significant application complexity, or, because they already have that code, the browser could help.
