Currently the Table of Contents feature request seems to sort of encompass the “anchors” (in-document anchors) request:

So the request is simple: some kind of Table of Contents feature, for docs, certainly, but perhaps even just overall for Rich Text. Maybe even as a kind of Block in the upcoming [[IN DEV] Migrate Entity View to Blocks](https://community.fibery.io/t/in-dev-migrate-entity-view-to-blocks/2005) paradigm. Personally, though, I’d love to see it as something that can optionally “float” or exist outside/alongside the ma…

I do think they should work together, but I also think that anchors should work _without_ a ToC in a given doc, so it’s appropriate that they’re a separate request.

@pattricia would you agree that a title for this topic that includes “anchors” would help clarify the intent? So me “internal hyperlinks” and “cross-references” don’t really connect with the concept as I am familiar with it. “Anchor” is a term commonly used in HTML, so it may be more familiar to me than those who are more used to e.g. a document/Word context, I’m not sure.
