If you’re asking about the text-slicer plugin, then the answer is “no”, it doesn’t understand HTML anchors at present. But it could, of course, with some updating. The trouble is that what you are describing is a particular convention for how anchors/links might be used in a particular HTML document, and wouldn’t in general apply to every document. That level of customisation isn’t implemented at present.
