Selectors break all the time — redesigns, framework migrations, DOM churn. Linkism is a new protocol that introduces persistent element addressing (lid://) to make UI elements stable over time.

RFC Spec v1.0 just went live with support for: -Framework migrations (React → Vue → Svelte)

-Offline resolution with SCR bundles

-Graceful fallback when selectors change

-Simple implementation in any language (JS, Rust, etc.)

Curious to hear feedback from this community on whether persistent selectors could become a shared standard, or if there are edge cases I haven't accounted for.
