Suppose I want to link someone to a function doc. I'd go to the 
doc page, press ';y' (which activates hint yank mode), and then 
the keys for the anchor. This would yank the anchor URL to my 
clipboard so i could paste it in my answer. But this won't work 
because the anchor isn't shown unless I hover it with the mouse, 
which breaks my flow.

It's a small thing and I'm probably in a minority who work like 
this, but it would be nice to have unless there's a good reason 
to hide the anchors. I seem to remember before that you could 
click the function name to get an anchor link.
