Have an icon appear on hover, and make every heading a hyperlink (even without styling), and have a table of contents with links to each heading (with styling). No need to dumb down your interface just for smartphone users.



What's the point of the icon if the heading is already a hyperlink?


The anchor symbol can have JavaScript that copies the link to clipboard on click. And the heading can be a plain old link to itself. Gives a nice visual and interaction for desktop while providing a way for mobile users to get the link too (long-press the heading and copy link).


It serves as an indication that the link is an anchor for that heading and doesn't lead somewhere else.
