Anchor links for individual columns/attributes within model page #186

Description

Describe the feature

I would love the ability to link to a specific column of my dbt documentation from other areas of documentation. For example, how you have linked directly to a specific header in your documentation (how you can click the # here and link directly to this 'overview' header.

I want this ability in our docs, for example, putting a link to go directly to dsse_reporting_group

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've tried using HTML anchor links, but this definitely doesn't work within doc blocks.

Additional context

This would be very useful for folks who have documentation on exposures for their dashboards, reports, etc. Since you can link from the docs to the exposures, this would allow you to link directly to the dbt docs from those exposures, as well. So it would become full circle.

Who will this benefit?

Everyone who documents their tables/databases/exposures.

Are you interested in contributing this feature?

I'm not sure I could, but I will do anything I can to help.
