Great minds must think alike!  :)  I tried that already but in-page 
links
which look like:

```
[[*Setup][Setup]]
```

Somehow get exported to:

```
*Setup*
```

...which is not a link at all, but rather just italicised text.

In fact, I think I will go now and bring that up to pandoc project...

They have several different flavored Markdown exporters available, I
tried all of them in fact.

FWIW, I also tried going the route of exporting to HTML (which is also
supported at Sourcehut)[0] however I ran into lots of other similar
issues like in OP, as the HTML exporter does the same things with id in
links.

I actually worked on this all day yesterday, still without success.  I
am of course still open to any suggestions, but I came to conclusion so
far that fixing the ox-md exporter might be the Right Way and I was
willing to dig into that further, myself.

I work extensively in Orgmode and have plans to publish many more things
(likely on Sourcehut) and I would rather do whatever work is required to
fix ox-md than change all my existing (or new) work to Markdown.  I
really do hate Markdown that much.  :D

Also, maybe in the meantime I could simply hard code a ToC, but that
still will not fix other in-page links throughout the page (like the
*Setup example, above).
