I know that with iftikzmark I can test if a given tikzmark exists in general. Is there a way to test if a particular tikzmark exists on the same page?
Use case: I'm trying to design macros that I can insert anywhere in a text that would draw a line between them –- a linestart and a linefinish command. However, when the linefinish command happens to fall on a subsequent page, the line gets drawn to where the linestart command was on the previous page. I would rather have it instead "do something else", here, just for purpose of illustration, draw me a black square – or, ideally "point across" the page in the direction to where the other mark is sitting.
In the code below, I've tried to construct what I'm envisioning using iftikzmark but that does not work.

tikzmarkalready saves the page number on which it is defined (see tex.stackexchange.com/q/79121/86 for a use of this, and look atnext pagein the documentation). There isn't a current direct interface to that information; it is stored assave@pg@<picture id of the tikzmark>so you could do a test on that.

I can see the point of having a iftikzmarkonpage conditional, so I've added it to the tikzmark package (download tikzmark.dtx and run tex tikzmark.dtx to get the latest version). This introduces a new conditional, iftikzmarkoncurrentpage<tikzmark name>. That copes with the issue about the lines being drawn on both pages when needed.

@jan You can use tikz-pagenodes, which has thecurrent page text areanode. And I think you are doing it right because in their present form the questions and answers are useful for many, which they are not if you do some highly specialized things. (Will be off now.)

That looks like it does what I'm after :) thank you ... and if you incorporate a conditional into the package, even better :) Although ... didn't Gonzalo's answer solve that? Why would his solution be bad?

@jan You can use tikz-pagenodes, which has thecurrent page text areanode. And I think you are doing it right because in their present form the questions and answers are useful for many, which they are not if you do some highly specialized things. (Will be off now.)

I can see the point of having a iftikzmarkonpage conditional, so I've added it to the tikzmark package (download tikzmark.dtx and run tex tikzmark.dtx to get the latest version). This introduces a new conditional, iftikzmarkoncurrentpage<tikzmark name>. That copes with the issue about the lines being drawn on both pages when needed.

The way you write the questions may indicate that you are about to construct a tikzmar version of something like this answer. The basic trick is that you build in the page number.
– marmot
Apr 6 at 16:51
@marmot Oh, you mean incorporating the pagenumber into the label for the node. Ha, that's clever.
– jan
Apr 6 at 16:53
Yes, basically. If you also want the line to also run over page breaks, you may need
refcount, like in Gonzalo's answer.– marmot

tikzmarkalready saves the page number on which it is defined (see tex.stackexchange.com/q/79121/86 for a use of this, and look atnext pagein the documentation). There isn't a current direct interface to that information; it is stored assave@pg@<picture id of the tikzmark>so you could do a test on that. I'm not going to attempt to get the expansions right in a comment, but something likeifnumcsname save@pg@pgfpictureidendcsname=csname save@pg@csname save@pt@tmk@labelendcsnameendcsname– Loop Space
Apr 6 at 17:10
@LoopSpace Hmm, that looks fairly complex. Would you be able to explain where I incorporate that?
