Is there any way to link to a specific subportion of a large post? At first I attempted to specify an HTML name for an element and reference it `[like so](#name)`. However, discourse (rightly) automatically strips name and id attributes from elements. As a side note, I’m not entirely sure that it would work anyway, as clicking anchor links of that style appears to redirect to the homepage.

The reason I would want to do this is that I am somewhat stretching the intended use for discourse by running a [Nomic](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomic) game on it. This game features a very long post with many rules with detailed descriptions, which will be edited and expanded as the game progresses. It would be very useful if I were able to insert a link to a specific rule when discussing it, rather than quoting the rule, which can become very cumbersome when discussing the interaction between multiple rules.
