In diff displays, it is sometimes hard to find the altered text in the article or edit page. This is particularly true for small edits to large tables or complex references. Blocks of text in diffs are always preceded by a line number. It would be helpful if that line number was a live link that took you to the place in the text where the changed block occurs, perhaps highlighting the first few words of the text in the diff block.
I think this could be merged with 61486, although their scopes are slightly different. See also [[mw:Requests_for_comment/Anchor_links_for_lines_changed_in_diffs]], mockup http://pirsquared-dev.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=4&diff=26&oldid=25#mw-diff-line-y-3
