I don't know if it *can* be made to work. I pointed to an example
where, for some pages, Google returns links to headings on the page.
It turns out that this is explained in this Google blog post:
https://googleblog.blogspot.co.uk/2009/09/jump-to-information-you-want-right-from.html

That seems to suggest that it's fairly basic -- that is: it lists
likely-looking headings from the page, and not necessarily the ones
you care about. I was kinda hoping that with some extra tags on the
headings, Google might recognise which sections were actually relevant
to the user's search and provide quick links to those.

Regards,
Roger.
