This should be part of WordPress core blocks. Thanks for fixing Gutenberg!

Easy to use. Thank you developer. Don’t forget to remove links from inside the group.

by ViktorLi

Very easy to use. Automatically sets IDs to H2 and H3. When adding links to anchors they appear when you start to type them! 5/5

by Per Andre Rønsen

The plugin nserts #id into h2/h3 on save, and make the headings available via core link search UI. Clever!
