Hi PMario, thank you for that explanation. As it turns out, for both my notetaking and the web materials, I can keep all the files in one folder. So as long as I use [ext[|]], I can just add the filename.html#anchor and it works fine both online and on my kompooter. I don't need "path notation" such as /../ etc. So the process I mentioned in my response to Tony works fine, just manually grab the part of the permalink I need and paste it in an external link snippet.
I don't know how to mark threads as completed, but for my concerns, I am all set. Thank you all for your help!
