Adding a heading within a table cell will generate a copy-able link now (reminder to hit publish to get link). The anchoring isn't perfect but its a good enough solution.

Hi @Peter Mannerhagen 

did you check out the possibility using Macro Anchor?

This should solve the problem :)

Ok forget that - I missed that you are using Cloud....

Peter Mannerhagen April 2, 2020

Is there a solution to my problem for Cloud?

Peter Mannerhagen April 5, 2020

When will Cloud be abel to use Macro Anchor?

Have the same issue, can't seem to find a way to link to a specific table cell on Cloud Confluence.

Hi @user1600929636653 and @Peter Mannerhagen 

as in documentation roadmap mentioned anchor macro was removed - a workaround that works fine (and is added) is link to headings instead in confluence cloud
-> Scroll down until you come to Link to a heading on a page or another page

Hope this works as good for as it works for me 😊

Hi, @Fabienne Gerhard 

Link to headings works fine when it is an actual heading on the page, and I've successfully linked content within tables to headings on other pages. But for content within a table cell, setting the text into a heading doesn't generate the same copy-able link as normal headings have...

I also really miss this feature!

However it doesn't seem to be possible in the new editor right now. The documentation for Confluence Cloud states in https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-links-and-anchors/ (date: 2020-09)

Linking to text formatted as headings in tables isn’t currently possible in the new editor.

:-(

Has there been update to confluence cloud that enables table cell linking?

Any update? curious to know as well. It would be super helpful.

Atlassian: Please restore the ability that allows Confluence users to anchor to content located within tables.

Thank you.
