How to link to a bullet point within a section in markdown

Question

I am making a readme file for my GitHub project and need to link to a specific bullet point within a specific section in the readme file. Is this possible?

Not directly in Markdown, but you can use an HTML list and add an id to whatever item you want to link to:

<ul>
  <li>Foo</li>
  <li id="bar">Bar</li>
</ul>

Then, you can link to it using that id, e.g.

[Link to Bar](#bar)

<a href="#bar">Link to Bar</a>

Or from another document:

[Link to Bar](https://github.com/bj97301/project/blob/main/README.md#bar)
