Reference to external definition used within details does not open when selected from appendix #4715

Description of problem

URL to affected spec or repo:

https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-canon

What happened (e.g., it crashed)?:

Selecting link in Terms defined by reference does not show usage.

Expected behavior (e.g., it shouldn't crash):

It should open details and position viewer at the reference

Optional, steps to reproduce:

  1. From Terms defined by reference, select (e.g.) "lexical form > § 4.4.3 Algorithm".
  2. This references an anchor contained within a details element, but does not result in opening the details and repositioning the viewer to that usage.
  3. It should show the reference, even if contained in such a hidden element.

See https://github.com/w3c/rdf-canon/issues/214#issuecomment-2128054553 for the related issue.

While ReSpec can address this, it's a more general issue with browsers. Chrome opens the details, while Firefox doesn't. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1820528

I'll file an issue in tr-design so fixup.js can handle this, including for Bikeshed specs.
