Commonly users add empty anchor elements, e.g, <p><a name="anchor"></a>Some text</p>. By that, they provide a proper anchoring behavior in HTML, and prevent the text from being decorated as link.

The limitation here is that the anchor element cannot be selected, and thus unable to be edited via the LinkManager dialog.

It would be nice, if there is some built-in logic that handles this situation and provide a proper way for the end-users to be able to visually distinguish this anchors and edit them if needed.

You can find attached  a custom solution for such approach.
