This only works if you have a table of contents on the page and, of course, can be problematic if someone changes the name of the heading, but if you are willing to accept these limitations:
The table of contents will automatically create heading tags on a page for reference. These tags will be in the form of underscore replacing spaces in headings. For example
== Test Heading ==
Would create a tag:
Test_Heading
So on a page where you have more than 4 headings and/or forced creation of a TOC named Test Page, you could create a reference as
[[Test Page#Test_Heading]]
This is pretty crude, but could work

Let's say I've got a page set up about cats. In that, I've got a few paragraphs about different kinds of cats. Those paragraphs are set up in the following format: == Main Coone == text == Siamese == text , etcetera.
How would I be able to make a link on another page that links directly to one of those paragraphs? I've tried [[Siamese]], but that doesn't work of course. That simply throws me to a page that doesn't exist yet.
