It would be hot if this, or a variant of it, could start showing content starting at the specific anchor used in the link. If this were combined with the ability to trigger it for links on the same page, this would be insanely great for w:en:MOS:GLOSSARIES. See w:en:Glossary of cue sports terms for example. The zillion intra-glossary links in that could just pop up the definition in question (as could similar glossary links at articles like w:en:Eight-ball), instead of the current practices, just a tooltip saying what entry it goes to.

This might be a way to do it: Extension:Labeled Section Transclusion. It would require the correct markup in the page with the content, but I could build that functionality into the glossary templates used at en.wikipedia.

Never mind; I now see: "As of 2014, section tags don't have any effect when used inside a template parameter. If page A contains a text {{B|X}}, there's no way {{#lst:A|...}} can access X." So, I guess that won't work after all.

Schweet.
