      • In the default wikilink style, append # and the heading text after the note name: [[Some note#Exact heading text]]. That opens the other file and jumps to that heading (anchor link). Official examples use forms like [[About Obsidian#Links are first-class citizens]].
      • Same file: type [[# and choose a heading in the current note, e.g. [[#Preview a linked file]].
      • Subheadings under a path: you can chain multiple # segments so each segment targets the next heading level under the previous one (documented for deep outlines).
      • Different display text: [[Some note#Heading|label you want shown]].
      • Find headings across the vault: use [[## (optionally followed by text) to search headings globally, not only in the current file.
      • If wikilinks are disabled, Obsidian still supports Markdown-style internal links; the destination must be URL-encoded (including spaces and the # fragment) per the internal-links docs.
