Can tokens link outside the rendered code block?

[oddhack]

Is your enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe. We'd like highlighted markup to link certain tokens to external anchors in the document the code is embedded within.

Describe the solution you'd like Ideally we could provide a map of (token name, anchor name) and any tokens found in the map would get their span rendered as a link to the anchor.

Additional context I'm trying to figure out how to implement this, and the README.md is kind of sparse about this. Would a correct direction be to write our own formatter that overrides safe_span() to perform the map lookup there? Happy to do the work myself, just unsure where to start.

I'd like it to remain open - I do need some guidance as to how to approach supporting this functionality.
