Swagger-ui anchor link to model definitions

Question

Is it possible to access a model definition of via swagger-ui directly via an anchor?

In the example page http://petstore.swagger.io/ I see that the anchor works for a groups of endpoints, eg http://petstore.swagger.io/#/pet .

Hovering the mouse over a model description shows me an anchor (eg #/definitions/Category for the Category model), but http://petstore.swagger.io/#/definitions/Category does not bring me there.

If I inspect the elements, I see a real link to anchor pet :

<a class="nostyle" href="#/pet"><span>pet</span></a>

while for Category this is a model-hint :

<span class="model-hint">#/definitions/Category</span>

So I wonder if anchoring models is supported at all..

Swagger UI does not support permalinks for schemas/models. There's an existing feature request:
