Anchor links don't really work for polymorphic methods

When there are multiple constructors, like CFrame.new that has different shape depending on the constructor, it’s not possible to create a specific anchor link to share with others. The CFrame | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub link always goes to the first one. This makes it difficult when my intent is to share a specific one of the constructors with someone else. Also, the side bar on the right does not ambiguate constructors.

Affected URL: CFrame | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

Thanks for the report! We’ll follow up when we have an update for you!

Hi @buildthomas thank you for your report! We are aware of your bug report and will be shipping a bug fix for this in an upcoming set of improvements to the docs site this month. Stay tuned for its resolution.

Hi @buildthomas we have shipped a set of improvements to API pages that includes a fix to “anchor links don’t work for polymorphic methods”. There are now unique links per CFrame.new constructor! We are aware of the side bar issue, too and will address that separately. I can keep this issue open so you can hear about the side bar fix, too.

Check out the new API page improvements to CFrame and others like it. We’ll make a larger announcement next week, too.

Thank you for your contribution!
