Hi Chris,
you're right, the returned String is used directly as the page name and
doesn't support any additions.
IMO, there are two options how to implement such a feature:
- Allow an anchor at the end of the String, and set it
PageNameComponentEventResultProcessor
- Use an intermediate type holding all the options available for a Link
with a fluent API instead, e.g.
LinkParams.page("index").anchor("footer").addQueryParameter("foo",
"bar").activationContext(myContext1, myContext2)
The first option would be the easiest to implement because it only affects
a single class (if I'm correct).
But this approach leaves out the other features a customized Link could
provide.
The second option would require a new ComponentEventResultProcessor and the
holder type.
What do the others think?
Should this be pursued as an easier option for navigation?
If you need/want the feature now you could override the
PageNameComponentEventResultProcessor, it's contributed here:

Cheers,
