Is it possible to get a list of all links to a specific anchor in confluence?

Hi @PPI Atlassian Administrators 

You can use Macro usage (YOUR_CONFLUENCE_URL/admin/pluginusage.action) and check where anchor macro was used.

Thank you for the solution. But the user has just administration rights on his space. I tried to search with "macroName:anchor" which provides a result list of all pages with anchor usage. How can I set an additional filter for the anchor name?

Hi

I think that you are able to search pages where macro is used only.

You can try CQL (https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/advanced-searching-using-cql) but I see that you will list only pages where macro is used.

I tried this: macroName:anchor and text ~ "myNewAnchor"

But it does not work.

Basic Search: too many results (even pages without anchors or substring "myNewAnchor")

Advanced CQL Search:

Oops, something went wrong with your search.

We could not successfully complete the search. Could not parse cql : macroName:anchor and text ~ "myNewAnchor"
