How to create URL link to the specific section of the PDF file?
I am trying to create a pointer link to a specific section of the PDF file which is in my local directory.
Normally I create hyperlinks to the pages like that.
xyz.pdf#page=4
But I cannot figure out how can I point sections of the book with URL. For example, the following hyperlinks point to the somewhere of the book. I want to know what is the URL syntax for accessing these sections.

Strictly speaking, what is usually referred to as chapters or sections inside a PDF, are bookmarks. According to Adobe's Parameters for Opening PDF Files, there are only two official ways of opening a PDF on specified position, and bookmarks are not there:
Named destination. Depending on your PDF viewer, you need to find a list of so-called destinations in your document and use the desired one (there should be no white spaces):
[PDF file](./xyz.pdf#[destination name])
Specific page. The method you are already aware of:
[PDF file](./xyz.pdf#page=[page number])
IMO the easiest and robust way is just to stick with page numbers, also due to URL limitations (from the same document):
Individual parameters, together with their values (separated by & or #), can be no greater then 32 characters in length.
