Anchor Feedback (all good points there)
#5
Insert Hyperlink -> Anchor link -> Select the anchor -> Ok.
Right click on the link -> Edit Hyperlink -> Edit Text to display -> The OK button is inactive until you manually change the path in Select anchor field (and it can be tricky if you have anchors with the same name in several notes, no indication if you are selecting the right one).
#6
Note1 has anchors.
Note1 -> Select All -> Delete. There is no indication that the anchors are still there.
Note1 -> Anchor button -> No anchors in the list.
After that it may seem that the anchors in Note1 were deleted, but it's not true:
- Note2 -> Insert Hyperlink -> Anchor link -> The anchors from Note1 are still there to be selected.
- Note2 -> Anchor button -> The anchors from Note1 are in the list and can be deleted from there.
It's strange when anchors are in the lists everywhere except for the note they are in.
#7
Insert Hyperlink -> Anchor link -> Select the anchor with a drop-down list is okay to test out the new feature.
But it'll be too crowded with active use after some time.
Just 100 notes with 3 anchors in each will create a long list of 300 anchors where you don't really see what are you selecting as there is no preview.
I think there should be some kind of a Browse button.
In truth, I don't really think that Anchors deserve a separate radio button (except for using it for creating links to anchors inside one current note, where the list of anchors wouldn't be that huge). I see them as more of an extension to the Item link.
For example, I am somewhere outside of the note (in another note/task/appointment). I want to make a link to it. In the process I may realise that I want that link to be to the note as a whole, to the particular leaf of the note or to the particular place (= anchor) in the note. The first two can already be added from the same interface, so why not add anchors there too? (and as there is a preview through the Details button, it's easy to make sure that you are adding the right link)

A list of anchors under each note's leaf + making them searchable by name in Find field would be nice.

When I'm inside the note and want to make a link to it or its leaf to paste it somewhere outside, it's easily done through right click.
The same would be convenient with anchors too.
I see that the mouse cursor changes when I'm near a circle of anchor's line.

How about 'Copy as Link' on right click there?
And also, in the Anchor list (on Insert Anchor button) 'Copy as Link' button would be a good addition too.
#9
No way to rename anchors?
I totally see myself having a typo in a word and deciding to change the name of some anchor, deleting and recreating an anchor with another name and then having to update all the links that were leading to it.
#10
I tried to export a note with this to html:

Just thought that links inside one html page is the most frequent use of anchors. It didn't work for links. Oh, well, it would have been too perfect to be true.
