Hmmm, admittedly, this is not pretty.

Yes, can see that this application makes sense. However, the reason
why I am using the target of the headline instead is because I would
like the anchor to match at the headline directly. I could, probably,
use the specified target instead of the sec-... id, but that also
feels inconsistent. Hmmm, I need to think more about this.
I just checked how Muse handles this. When they have an anchor
directly above a headline, the anchor is inserted into the definition
of the headline. Maybe we can do something like this.
