Description
When I follow e.g. the link #4806#note-9, the issue page opens without any indication where the linked note is: The web browser cannot scroll it to the top, because it is one of the last notes.
It would be very helpful to have the linked note visually emphasized it this case, e.g. by using a lightly colored background.

I am sure this feature can improve UX. Discourse (open source discussion board software) has similar feature. You can try highlight feature of Discourse by clicking https://meta.discourse.org/t/educate-users-about-paragraphs/65220/9 .
The patch from Mizuki Ishikawa looks good to me but I think it is safer to change the patch as follows:

I slightly changed the patch. The new patch checks if the format of the fragment identifier is "#change-nnn" or "#note-nnn".
