Is it possible for the Heading web part to have an anchor link (I think they might also be called permalinks)?
It would be useful to be able to copy a heading anchor link and use it in the Quick Links Plus web part, allowing users to jump directly to specific sections of the page.
Thanks for the suggestion! We actually used to support permalinks in the Heading web part, but had to remove them due to how SharePoint pages load.
Because SharePoint loads web parts progressively (only once you scroll into view), a heading placed lower on the page wouldn’t exist yet when a permalink tried to reference it. This caused problems for things like a table of contents at the top of the page—links to headings further down simply wouldn’t work until you had already scrolled to that section.
Interestingly, Microsoft’s built-in Text web part doesn’t have this limitation because it’s exempt from progressive load, so its anchors work right away. Unfortunately, we don’t have that same control over custom web parts.
For that reason, we removed permalinks from the Heading web part by design, as the inconsistent behavior was confusing for users.
