I am on Windows and using SumatraPDF. It is not directly explained how the tex synchronization works, I thought, it would be a good idea to place the howto here to provide a self-contained documentation and to save time for ltx2any users.

Hum. I don't think adding documentation for all the PDF viewers and OSs is feasible. I think I'll add a broader note that the user system may have to be reconfigured so the links actually open. I expect googling "[viewer] open link text file" or similar should lead to the required instructions.

Sumatra PDF is the standard PDF viewer for LaTeX users on Windows. It's open source and deserves to be promoted. The thing is that I googled for that string and landed on a newsgroup pointing to code.google.com and from there to a non existing file, because code.google.com is in ARCHIVE mode. I had to search for myself for the file and think about how to tweak it.

That's all very fine, but it's still not a piece of documentation for this tool. I guess a Wiki page for hints about setting up related tools maybe okay.

That said, you can ask and self-answer a question about this on Super User Stack Exchange so future Googlers have more access.

I have reserved room on the installation wiki page for things like this. Do you have a write-up for Sumatra somewhere?

I wrote a quick tutorial at https://github.com/akerbos/ltx2any/wiki#sumatrapdf.

I could stand to add a link to http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/339/latex-editors-ides, even though the link rocks 🎱
