Conventional ways of addressing within a document (page numbers, chapter/section/paragraph numbers) are brittle and will break with changes to a document's content—or even its formatting.

Digital document formats tend to have stable identifiers for addressable elements (at least scoped to the document itself), but they tend not to expose these.
