Dev.to uses standard markdown. Define an anchor you want to link to right before the line you want to refer:
<a name="anchor-name-1"></a>
and place your link:
[link text](#anchor-name-1)
If you want to link to a remote url you can also do this:
[link text](https://[...]#anchor-name-1)
[Try it yourself](#try-yourself) 😉

Another way is to use the header words separated by dashes:
Can be anchored this way:
Although it's very cumbersome because it depends on the words and characters. In this regard, your way is very simpler :)
Is this possible only on dev.to or is it a standard markdown thing too? Thank you for this! 👍
It's standard Markdown
