Enhancement : it would be great if one could, while editing a page in the
Composer, navigate within the page using hte wihtin page anchors and links. Just
a right click menu point when clicking on an existing link that says "go to
target" to jump to this anchor. When the link is not within the page the menu
point could be " open link in new composer window"
Thanks for considering this. 

Reproducible: Always

Seems that I'm the only one who is interested in this enhancement.
However, I'm still using only Composer as my web page editor.
I have long pages with many page internal links and thus many anchors. 
I would thus still find it useful to be able to navigate within a page while
editing the page.
That is, as described before, a right click menu point when clicking on a link
that says "Go to anchor", and then the COmposer would scroll the page to show
the anchor.
Thanks very much for considering this enhancement

MozillaAS v1.7.x is not supported anymore.

Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.9 ?

This is not a question of "reproducing" as this was a suggestion for an enhancement and no , this enhancement has not been implemented in Seamonkey v1.1.9

but thnaks for asking :-) I would still be interested in this. At least have some means to jump rapidly to anchors within a page would be great.
