Hi, Pete. I liked IAccessibleDocument interface because anchorTarget is applicable to document accessible and doesn't make huge sense on IAccessible2. From implementation point of view we would need to get anchorTarget on document accessible and then check if obtained anchor target is within an accessible you call this method on.
