I would say that we should probably include commonmark or something
similar and equally common into the core at some point, but that's
beyond the scope of this feature request.
I've realized that ox-md adds raw HTML anchors <a id="..."></a>, but
only for referenced headings. Behavior was changed by

So ::# link search strings may be converted to # fragment links during
export. Perhaps a user option should be added to allow control whether
<a id="..."> anchors added for all CUSTOM_ID properties or just for

At first I tried to export to .md with table of contents disabled, so
there were no anchors. I have not tested behavior of publishing.
While looking into this, I have noticed that raw HTML links <a
href="..."> are used instead of native MarkDown []() ones for radio
