Description: Let's assume you're currently browsing a page that belongs to a trail and you want to go to the list of pages in this trail, or more specifically, to the part of the list of pages that points to the page you're currently browsing. One reason to do this could be that the list of pages is long, and you're interested in the other "nearby" pages.

A possible solution is to attach an automatically generated anchor to the trail link, which then corresponds to anchors on the page that lists the pages of the trail.

To be more specific, the markup << | TrailPage | >> migh result in a centre link going to "TrailPage#trail_<this-page>". Then when the TrailPage is rendered, we simply add "trail_*" anchors to each candidate trail stop.

A possible problem here is how to know if a page is actually a trail page, and that these anchors should actually be generated.
