1. A computer-implemented method of identifying a location of content within an electronic document, the method comprising:
generating, by one or more processors via a first routine, a location identifier for a content item contained in a stream within the electronic document in accordance with a location identification rule, including:
generating, from a stream descriptor of the stream, a stream identifier of the content item contained in the stream, and
determining an offset identifier for the content item based on a position of the content item within the stream, wherein the location identifier for the content item is based on the stream identifier and the offset identifier;
assigning, by the one or more processors, the location identifier to the content item contained in the stream within the electronic document, wherein the assigning is performed by a second routine different from the first routine; and
locating, by the one or more processors via the first routine, the content item based on the location identifier.
