Actually, the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) _is_ the citation for a Web
document. It can include "page" or "paragraph" labels, link you to
footnotes, etc....

For straight HTML files, you can name any paragraph (or page) using labels
of the form <a name="Page 1">.

This label then becomes part of the URL for the page: e.g.
 a href="http://site-name/document-name/#paragraph-name">

Since any object on the Web can link to any other object, the same
techniques will let you follow follow footnotes, and return to the
paragraphs or pages which you were reading.

(There are other more advanced things available too, like Data Type
Definitions and eXtensibile Markup Language....)
