Link to items on a page (Automatic anchors on all items in an entry AND the option of linking to them) #1167

Quite often we need to link to a certain part of the page, and we usually create pages using replicators with blocks. To achieve this we have to add a text-field to all blocks called "ID" or "Anchor" and then the client needs to remember this and add # to an URL link somewhere else.

How nice would it be if the Link fieldtype not only could select an en entry, but also a specific item on that entry. In a perfect world (or by using an antlers tag) we could add this ID to the item, and the client could simply select entry and item when creating a link. The items would need to be recursive so all items also within replicators would be available for selection.

There are some solutions or helpers available by using addons, but I'd prefer also some kind of native feature... Or at least a combined native link field where you can select an entry and append a manual anchor to it.

I was not aware of the Focal Link addon. It does the trick for now. I do however agree it would have been nice to have as a native feature :)
