Description
If I insert an anchor and link to it internally within the same document, the links don't work until the document is saved to disk.
Also, perhaps this is more of an issue for hoedown upstream, but it would be nice if [MultiMarkdown style internal links](http://fletcher.github.io/peg-multimarkdown/index#cross-references) were supported. It feels strange to drop into html to do an internal link.

Research direction
Reproduce the intradocument anchor and link behavior before and after saving the Markdown document. Check how MacDown delegates link handling to hoedown, compare the requested MultiMarkdown cross-reference syntax, and consider both the unsaved-link failure and the upstream-support question done when their scope is clearly separated.
