There are anchors for index entries, but you typically need to jump to
<https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Programming-Index.html>
to get the link, or to click on the symbol in a code snippet.
I agree that anchor symbols in the text would help. We’d need to tweak
the Texinfo output and/or use @anchor more frequently in the Texinfo
source of the manual.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
