Description

**Mood:** 😔
**Category:** Requests and ideas

When reading an existing markdown file in the sidebar, clicking on internal links (URL fragment) in a "table of contents" section of the markdown file doesn't work. For long documents, this can be very helpful in navigating to relevant sections to review as I chat with the agent.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the GitHub Copilot app: open an existing markdown file from the sidebar and click a table-of-contents link with a URL fragment. Trace the markdown display and link navigation behavior; done means internal links move to the corresponding section in the document.
