Support Linking to Headings Inside Tabs

Currently, headings located inside Tabs cannot be linked using anchor links. It would be helpful to support linking directly to headings within Tabs, enabling users to navigate to specific sections inside tabbed content.

Additional Context
Support linking to headings located within Tab sections in Help Center articles
Description Document360 currently supports linking to headings located within accordion sections. However, the same functionality is not available for headings contained within
Tabs
.This limitation prevents us from creating direct links to specific sections inside tabbed content, reducing navigation efficiency and making it difficult to reference content from other Help Center articles.
Use case
Many of our implementation guides use
Tabs
to organize cloud-specific procedures, such as AWS
, Azure
, and GCP
.Within each tab, the content is structured using multiple headings, for example:
*
Prerequisites
* Set up a service principal
* Configure permissions
We often need to reference these sections from other Help Center articles. At present, Document360 does not generate or support anchor links for headings located inside tabs, even though similar functionality exists for headings within accordion sections.
Requested enhancement
Add support for generating and resolving anchor links for headings located within
Tabs
.The expected behavior is:
Every heading inside a tab should receive a unique anchor.
Navigating to that anchor should automatically activate the appropriate tab (if required) and scroll the reader directly to the referenced heading. * The behavior should be consistent with the existing heading-linking experience available for accordion sections.Business impact
This enhancement would: Improve navigation within long implementation guides.
Let authors create deep links to specific procedures inside tabbed content. Reduce duplicate documentation by allowing direct references instead of repeating content.
Provide a consistent authoring experience across accordions and tabs. * Improve the overall customer experience when navigating complex technical documentation.Example
The attached screenshot shows an implementation guide that uses tabs for cloud providers. We should be able to create direct links to headings such as Prerequisites
and Set up a service principal
within the Azure
tab.Attachment:
