Feature: Scroll to ID

[joshpetit]

I know that this is no longer maintained, but I thought it would be nice if it was possible to check and see if the selected text has an id attribute within it that can be appended to the url. This could be an option that's enabled ("appened id to url"), that way we can click on the urls and be taken directly to where the reference is.

Hi! The project is maintained, it's just working well enough for me so that I didn't do any changes lately! I'd still fix critical issues or welcome others' PRs if someone is keen though! :)

Usually when I want something like you suggest, I just click the tag with the anchor, and then select and capture the text (so it automatically ends up in the URL).

Autodetecting is a cool idea though! However it can be tricky to get right, because some page layouts are pretty crazy. Although finding the closest tag with id would probably work well enough on 90% of pages.

Oh wow awesome! If it's still maintained there are other much more useful features that would be more worth focusing on like being able to select which org file. But just wanted to put this here for the record. I've been working on my workflow a lot the past few months, so there's a chance I'll be able to contribute while on break this winter.

Thanks a lot for the work you put into this, you've made hundreds of people's web browsing 1000% more efficient!
