Keyboard-centric browsers (e.g. qutebrowser [1], dwb [2], ect.) generally let you click on links via 'hinting'. You press a button (e.g. 'f' for 'follow'), every clickable element has a series of keys shown above it, and you press those keys to follow that link (just look at some of the screenshots for the linked browsers).

The (kinda) new anchor links in the phobos docs don't work well with this, as they require me to mouse over the element for them to show up (and having to use the mouse defeats the purpose of a keyboard-centric browser).

Is there any reason for this design? Would it hurt to show the anchor all the time? If nothing else it would make the anchors more discoverable.

I don't understand, the anchor link doesn't go anywhere. It's to provide a perma-link to that piece of documentation so you can direct link to it somewhere else.
