Copy-link headings
Every heading on an object page carries its own link.
The IIIF Consortium
Stable, citable references to a specific view of a specific object are the whole point of the framework, and researchers quote them.

Field armour, Maximilian style
Researchers cite sections, not pages. If a heading has no link, they screenshot it.
Provenance
Recorded owners from 1782 to acquisition, with the two gaps marked as gaps rather than smoothed over.
Exhibition history
Every loan out, with dates and venues.
Bibliography
Where it has been published, oldest first.
Conservation history
Treatments, with the reports attached.
Related objects
Other things in the collection that came from the same place.
Every heading has an id and a copy control, and the toast shows the URL that went to the clipboard so nobody has to paste it somewhere to find out what they got. On an object record with provenance and a bibliography, it decides whether the section gets quoted with a link or pasted in as a screenshot.
