A computer-executed method to facilitate directed reading of portions of an original document, comprising: receiving, by a computing device, a transfer document associated with the original document, wherein the transfer document comprises a tag that specifies a selected portion of the transfer document, an identifier that identifies an intended recipient of the transfer document, and an action to be performed on the selected portion when the transfer document is accessed by the intended recipient; opening the transfer document for a local user; determining whether the local user matches the intended recipient of the transfer document; and performing, by the computing device, the action on the selected portion of the transfer document in response to determining that the local user matches the intended recipient, wherein the action includes at least one of: opening the transfer document to the selected portion without requiring manual navigation to the selected portion; highlighting the selected portion; obscuring a context surrounding the selected portion; and directly navigating from the selected portion to a different selected portion in the transfer document without requiring manual navigation to skip obscured contexts.
