Ideas for Arc XP

ability to create redirects for anchor links

We often need to create redirects to anchor links, but are not currently able to do so. For example, we have this page https://www.opb.org/support/ways-to-give and we'd like to create vanity urls for specific portions of the page (like https://www.opb.org/support/ways-to-give/#Give_Stock).


Support told me:

"This has to do with the way a network stack handles anchor tags in the URL - they are generally ignored and only handled by the browser. This is not to say that it's invalid to redirect to one (from a technical perspective), however Arc is not designed to handle this use case. "


Currently, these redirects can be created with a proxy rule, but I'm told that ability is going away.
