Yes, Swagger UI has permalinks for operations and tags. To get a permalink, expand an operation or tag and copy the URL in the address bar. Permalinks look like this:

index.html#/tagName

https://petstore.swagger.io/#/store/getInventory

const ui = SwaggerUIBundle({

  deepLinking: true,  // <------
