@wiobyrne If you change the date/time linked URLs from
https://hypothes.is/a/Y03z2H4QEeiWPlcSnuxgKA to
https://hyp.is/Y03z2H4QEeiWPlcSnuxgKA
They'll link, instead of to the standalone versions which might be more appropriate for syndication link usage, to the original document on the web and auto-scroll to the location of the annotation. This might give you a tiny bit more of the UI functionality you're looking for.
