Or simply...
$('ul.actions a').each(function() { this.href += '#somewhere'; });
If you want to ensure that the href does not already have a bookmark
attached then you may want to add a test before changing the href...
$('ul.actions a').each(function() {
if(this.href.indexOf('#') < 0) this.href += '#somewhere';
});
...or apply a filter before going into the each().
