create URL with anchor to text selection

Question

I would like to create a URL pointing to a web service I write, http://mycoolthing.com, together with an #-anchor that refers to a text selection on that page.

Is is possible in HTML/JS to create an anchor that refers to a Selection or a RangeObject?
