Identify snapshots on archiving websites with their source

[0x7969]

Hey, I'm using archive.ph a lot to save social media posts and articles. Hypothesis works great for annotating them. Though if someone else accesses the source page directly (without using archive.ph), the annotations won't be shared. Identifying that the original URL is the same as the archived URL and then sharing the annotations would be a great feature.

We usually try to identify equivalent content from different URLs, in order to load the right annotations.

For example, if page A has a <link rel="canonical" href="..." /> pointing to page B, we load annotations created in page B when page A is loaded.

Can you share some equivalent URL examples? We can take a look and see if archive.ph is already adding something to identify the original content.

Hey @acelaya,
thanks, I checked the source but an accordant reference in the typical formats seems to be missing. Meh. I'll ask them if they are able to add a link rel pointing to the source.
They include a <link rel="canonical" ...> though that is a longer version of the initially provided shortlink, that contais the source URL, looking like this: http://archive.today/2023.11.28-100610/https://www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/scholz-urteil-schafft-neue-realitaet-fuer-alle-kuenftigen-regierungen-19344914.html
Doubt if customly parsing that would be a good idea though.
