Description:

Currently, links with anchors mostly don't work when linking to a different URL. That's because often the page is loaded async and it's unknown to the system when it's fully loaded. Therefore it is impossible to for example deep link to a specific system setting like https://mydomain/index.php?module=CoreAdminHome&action=generalSettings&editsiteid=5&period=day&date=yesterday&idSite=1#/HeatmapSessionRecording

This logic would make it work to make use of anchor links on the general settings page. There might be a generic solution to it but it's very tricky because the system can never really know whether it should/needs to wait for more requests to finish or whether some more might be coming etc. In many cases using again the globalAjaxQueue could work though instead as soon as there are 0 requests active after the load event then trigger this method. Such a solution may be quite tricky though as might then need to factor in whether user maybe already started scrolling etc. Could create a new issue to fix this properly maybe?

Review

• Functional review done
• Potential edge cases thought about (behavior of the code with strange input, with strange internal state or possible interactions with other Matomo subsystems)
• Usability review done (is anything maybe unclear or think about anything that would cause people to reach out to support)
• Security review done see checklist
• Code review done
• Tests were added if useful/possible
• Reviewed for breaking changes
• Developer changelog updated if needed
• Documentation added if needed
• Existing documentation updated if needed
