I have been teaching students how to do notes for their reading material by adding an notes.html file in Editor, with anchors

Code:

 <a name="fn4">4.</a>

or

Code:

 <a id="fn4">4.</a>

and then inserting a link to that file and tag

Code:

 <a href="notes.html#fn4">text to be annotated</a>

That makes references to the note file easy enough.

But, if one want to link from an annotation file to the text, one would have to put anchors in the text. However, putting calibre in reference mode ostensibly creates paragraph anchors. These anchors seem to be "run time" only in that they are not present when one edits the book. So my question is whether there might be some way to use the reference feature to provide html anchor tags in the actual text, thereby avoiding have to add anchors?
