So really, this is also a bad idea to make the pages stick.

I agree, there is no way to do this on epub, so I've abandoned the idea utterly. Also my goal in ebook generation is that the epub2 and and azw3/KF8 should look very similar and be similar to WYSIWG formatted on a small page in the wordprocessor done with no content incompatible to an ebook. I also check that the book is "sane" on a basic mobi viewer & ereader, without publisher font enabled (if that's an option). I check on Kindle, Kobos, Nook, Sony PRS350, Calibre Viewer and various apps on Android phone, Android Tablet and Windows tablet.
This particular project isn't a standalone ebook at all, but an additional complementary way to access the text for the map board game (a large ring bound book so that a double page spread map lies flat for counters/avatars). The text will be in ONE copy of a paperback, printed like a conventional "Plot your own adventure" except there is random access into it from the map location. The choices also have map board related actions and dice throws.
However sometimes there are links internal to an ebook and also to the Internet (where HW & SW of ereader & app support Internet). It's part of quality control to test that ALL links work. Also an anchor for a link to jump to should only be at the start of a paragraph in the original document for maximum conversion compatibility.
I don't see how text and screen size affect properly constructed links and anchors? Maybe I'm not understanding.
