The section link in the edit summary comes from having a "/* Some Section Name
*/" section at the start of the summary text, which may be either manually or
automatically inserted.

This is provided as the default summary prefix for section edits as we know
from the beginning which section you're working with -- it's explicit in the
URL and form data for the edit page. If you create a new section using the "add
new section" tab (section=new on URL), then similarly the section title you
give is available to produce an automatic summary.

If you're just editing a page and happen to add/remove/rename one or more
sections, then the editing system doesn't know anything in particular about it,
any more than it knows what section(s) you changed if you just hit the
page-wide "edit" button.

I believe you're suggesting that an auto-summary with a section reference be
generated (during editing?) if we somehow detect that (exactly one?) new
section was added?

This special case might be detectable but feels a bit awkward; you may have
edited hundreds of other paragraphs in other sections at the same time, and of
course you might have added multiple sections, removed some, changed some, etc.
