Anchor links in News page

This might be fixed now as of August 2019.

SPO makes any text where you use the "header" style into a potential anchor.

Publish the page and then mouse over the header text. You'll see a little link icon.

Right click and copy the link. That's your header link INTERNAL TO THE PAGE

If you want to use the link in a menu, you have to modify it. If your anchor link was something like this:

https://XXX.sharepoint.com/sites/XXX/SitePages/Human-Resources.aspx#benefits

To get to that anchor via a menu item you have to add a '?' before the anchor hash tag thusly:

https://XXX.sharepoint.com/sites/XXX/SitePages/Human-Resources.aspx?#benefits

HUGE thanks to Doug Allen writing at the C5 Insight page for discovering this little trick...
