Make links to content on the same page scroll instead of reloading the page with a new URL

We'd achieve better UX if links to content on the same page, scrolls to that content instead of loading a new page.

For instance, this answer is one of two answers to a question. It has a link to the other answer, but instead of scrolling up to it, the browser loads the same page over again, but with a new URL, inserting that into the tab history.

I'd like to see the same for comments, but that's currently not possible, because comment threads have their own pages. If that changes, we can revisit this with a new feature request or "bug report" for that.
