Hi @adresden-opc we had this raised previously when we were working on Drupal 8 govCMS/GovCMS8#393

We are currently looking at this internally. To note, there's a dependency on the CKEditor Fake Objects https://www.drupal.org/project/fakeobjects that we also have to look as part of this.

Issue raised with fakeobjects a blocker at this time

For visibility, the issue raised at https://www.drupal.org/project/fakeobjects/issues/3118327 is still RTBC and hasn't been included.

To note, with the move away from CKEditor 4 to 5 (part of the Drupal 9.5 branch) also means the current release of acnhor_link (as of this comment) is only CKEditor 4 compatible. There is an issue raised at https://www.drupal.org/project/anchor_link/issues/3206676 around this, but is still early days.

Issue is still blocked.

Hello @thisisalistairsaccount,

Any update on this one? Will there be an inclusion of this module?

[thisisalistairsaccount]

Hi @tumendelger the same issues I've last flagged are still outstanding.

Whilst a useful tool to have in the editor toolbar, anchor links are pretty easy to achieve using plain HTML.

It looks like it's been made compatible with CK5

This would be a good addition for editors who may not feel as confident with HTML.
