Best way to show anchor tags on screen?

Any thoughts on how one could/should format anchor links on screen?

I'm working on a tool for generating FAQ lists and, like the typical list,
you'll click a question at the top, and it will link down the page using an
anchor. I'd like to also display the anchor in a way that would make it
easier for people link directly to a FAQ outside of the site. Akin to
'permalinks' in blogs, I suppose.

One thought was to, next to the anchor, just place the actual lnk to the
anchor and label it 'link directly to this question' or something along
those lines. Would that be more confusing than helpful?

Don't know, but usually a browser shows the full URI including a
fragment identifier in its address bar. Isn't that enough for
bookmarking and linking?
