I have implemented a "redirect to section" feature. It requires
JavaScript, with the old behaviour maintained for non-JS browsers.
Use it wisely -- remember that a link from one page to the middle of
another will typically be unexpected and surprising behaviour for the
reader, especially when the source link has no # in it. This feature is
regularly requested, and so I implemented it on that basis. I'm sure there
are good applications, but some amount of common sense at the editorial
level is required.
