In Version 84.0.4147.105 (Official Build) (64-bit), it does,

as does my Chrome Mobile for Android .111 32b

================

You can even make a bookmark with:

javascript:(function()%7Bconst selectedText %3D getSelection().toString()%
3Bconst newUrl %3D new URL(location)%3BnewUrl.hash %3D %60%3A~%3Atext%3D%24%
7BencodeURIComponent(selectedText)%7D%60%3Bwindow.open(newUrl)%7D)()

.. witch will make this url-string for you, 
after highlighting the wanted text by mouse.

Read it somewhere in the Dev-blog, I suppose,
or css-tricks perhaps.
