Steps.

1. move to the end of the current line,
2. search backwards for the thing/pattern
3. set the start-column to the current column.
4. set the spec-string to the subgroup match on description of thing/pattern (ie. the text enclosed in quotes)
5. while you can search backwards for a describe block and get a match:
6. while the current-colum < start-column 1. set the start-column to match the current-column 2. add the found description to the front of the spec-string
7. replace '#' with %23 in the spec-string
8. save the buffer in case of changes
9. url encode the spec-string
10. browse the jasmine url + encoded spec string
