How does right clicking help? If you go to

and right click you can copy a link to

Aha! The way I did it with quickbook, you can have the exact link.
Try it here: http://tinyurl.com/rlqz8. Try to right click
a heading. The URL is exactly what you get copied.
Well. Those headings do have the no-op problem that Daryle mentioned
and I think that's problematic. When you said that you borrowed the
idiom from the docutils-generated docs and that it "helps you know
where you are" I assumed that you were doing the same thing as the
docutils links, which take you exactly to the location in the TOC
that links to the section header. That gives you useful context,
rather than simply making it possible to copy a link.
Well that's not exactly true... :)
Aha again :) Looking back at the MPL docs, yeah I did it the
way MPL does it. Try: http://tinyurl.com/omouw for reference.
Now right-click the "Definitions" headings and copy the URL.
You will get:
http://www.boost.org/libs/mpl/doc/refmanual/forward-sequence.html#definitions
Same as with how I did it in QuickBook.
Works beautifully for me. The link to copy is exactly at the top of
the window. I've never made a mistake with it.
How's that any different from just clicking the "Up" link?
Ok, agreed. I'll follow that behavior. While Daryle has
good points, unless they are backed up by actual usability
studies, it will be just a matter of perception.
