Theoretically, any web page can be linked to the anchor, but for this a special URL formatting must be used. To link an anchor to content on the same Confluence page, follow these steps:

1. Position the cursor where you want to insert the link.
2. Select "Insert Link" from the menu or use the keyboard shortcut [Ctrl] + [k].
3. Klicken Sie auf „Erweitert“ und geben den Namen des Ankers unter „Verknüpfung“ ein.
4. Geben Sie nun den Link-Text ein und bestätigen Sie dies mit einem Klick auf „Speichern“.
