> Automatically add anchor link IDs to markdown headers

Did this ever become a reality?

I can see deep links to Headings working in my TOS. However, when I try to create deep link to inline elements, such as span or anchors, the ID is stripped from the tag, making the link useless.

Is it only possible to link to header elements?
