Google Docs – How to Create Links Redirecting to the Same Document

How to make links that redirect you to the same document in google docs?

I'm quoting some stuff in google docs. How can I make it similar to wiki style?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia

I want to know how to use this feature when quoting:

  1. To be redirected to the quote

Edit: It doesn't have to be a link. Notes (1,2,3,4,5…) that will allow me to do the same are just as good.

From what I can gather, you are trying to create a system of internal links in a Google Doc. There are two effective ways to accomplish this.

One, take advantage of different headings from Format > Paragraph styles. You can modify the look and feel of these headings as you see fit. Then, when you highlight text to create a link, you will have the option of linking to the different headings you have created.

Two, create bookmarks within your document using Insert > Bookmark. This would be more suited to links that aren't headings but might be the start of a paragraph of something smaller that does not merit a heading. You can then create the link as with the previous option.

The design choice between the two is yours; you can mix and match them as well.
