One of my earliest bits of technical specification was trying to get a 
common way of doing that.  First in RFC 615, then:

    RFC 645: Network Standard Data Specification syntax <#>

    🔗 https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc645.html
    <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc645.html>

It was an educational exercise for me, but never got any traction.

I find myself wondering whether it can be compared to a URL, at least in 
spirit.
