Specification

https://drafts.csswg.org/selectors/#local-link-pseudo

Summary

The :local-link pseudo-class allows authors to style hyperlinks based on the 
users current location within a site. It represents an element that is the 
source anchor of a hyperlink whose target’s absolute URL matches the element’s 
own document URL. If the hyperlink’s target includes a fragment URL, then the 
fragment URL of the current URL must also match; if it does not, then the 
fragment URL portion of the current URL is not taken into account in the 
comparison.

Motivation

It's common to style the active page in a list of links differently the others 
to denote the user is on such a page. This typically requires maintaining such 
state in the host language, such as the server side template language, or in 
the client. `:local-link` provides a browser built-in solution to this.
