How does that work, as in, how is it implemented? I don't know. That's
Deri's specialty (and in general, groff maintainers).

How does that work, as in, how do I get a link to a page within a PDF?

<https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages/book/man-pages-6.03.pdf#acct_2>

Go to that PDF, and there are links; copy one and share it. It has
bookmarks, so you can navigate with the left panel too.

Cheers,
Alex
