Every now and then, but especially when I build pages that combine index of images together with a preview of one of them, I wish there was a way to tell a browser to remember a part of a current page and apply it at appropriate place on the next one from the same domain which also has same ID.

The gist of a problem is that I sometimes want bookmark-ability of separate pages without throwing away a product of an expensive operation. I want my cake and eat it too.

This is impossible, since there’s no way to actually store DOM objects and I’m not even sure it’s a good idea. Nevertheless, I certainly do miss the feature.
