The syntax you are suggesting looks great to me!

I don’t think we’d need to rely on hover and agree it is noisy. Maybe headings can simply become links to themselves that can be selected via long press or ctrl/right click? Only issue there would be headings where people create links as in eg below, but not sure this would matter for the vast majority of cases.

`# [this is a heading](https://someurl.com)`

I still like @mcwumbly’s suggestion from back in the day:

> 2. Click a button in the “gear icon dropdown” to generate a ToC
> 3. ToC is an outline with links to the headings, indented by heading level
> 4. ToC is just markdown inserted into the composer that you can edit/delete
> 5. Clicking the “generate ToC” buttons would not replace the existing ToC, but instead, just insert a new one.\*
