I haven't been able to find the answer on the Claris web site. Does anyone here know the answer?

It looks like it is not the one you would hope.
IE 11 is your winner here. You just can't kill IE. When zombies will roam the earth, they will leave where ever they came from once they realize they are left alone with IE.

Do not shoot the messenger! (I'm talking about me, not the app!)
Have fun!

OK. That is as very cool trick. I haven't seen it used previously.
and, thank you for confirmation that the webviewer in Windows is still based on IE.
If anyone follows those links, they may notice that the relevant text is highlighted in yellow on the page. Check this URL for details. [Boldly link where no one has linked before: Text Fragments](https://web.dev/text-fragments/)

I figured otherwise it would be not so nice of me to send you on a hunt. Looking for just so few characters in a long text, when for me it was right in front of my eyes.
Happy to be of service.

You can now pay it forward with this chrome extension (by Google):
