mention links anchor
I would really love to be able to create mentions that link to a subheader or anchor in another article, and I think others would too!
For example, I talk about all the different ranks in my Military article. When writing about someones rank, it would be very handy to be able to use something like @Castellite Military#Lord Cavalier(article). While I could just link to the entire military article, it's convenient for the reader to be taken to exactly the part they wanted to learn more about.
As another example, I have created a People A-Z where I would like to put a short summary of all characters. It'd serve both as a way to learn about the people of the Morning Realm, and a place to write about characters that don't quite warrant an article of their own. I would love to be able to use something like @People A#Agatha Able(article) in another article.
We can do this to some degree already by using the full link and the bb code [url:https://www.worldanvil.com/w/the-morning-realm-nnie/a/people-a-article#agatha]Agatha Able[/url]. This method is clunky and hard to use and doesn't the agility of the mention system where it can adapt to the article linked being renamed.
The Team's Response
Yes, but due to low support it is not a priority right now. We will do a quick spike just in case the solution is easier than anticipated, if it is not easy to do then it will be moved as a feature of the upcoming new presentation system update.

on 2022-02-12 15:20This would be pretty handy to have around. And I agree with the OP that the current model is clunky and difficult to use. Hope this will get some attention if it's not too difficult to implement!

on 2022-02-11 00:03For people like me who aren't very comfortable using the BB Code or, in my case, even know what that is, this would be an easier way to link things that are mentioned in other articles.

on 2022-02-04 22:50I was caught off guard during World Ember trying to do precisely that — using anchors with the @mention link. So an upgrade would be fantastic to see.
