Named Anchors Prohibited in Rise Embed Blocks?

I want an embed block to use a link that includes a named anchor (https://www.nhtsa.gov/equipment/car-seats-and-booster-seats#find-compare-seats). Rise keeps dropping the named anchor part of the URL.

I know this issue was brought up in 2017. However, that discussion languished four years ago with no updates or resolution.

The page I want to link to is very, very long and I really want to link directly to the tool that appears way towards the bottom of the page. Is there any way to retain named anchors in a Rise Embed Block link?

    Sorry I misread that at first. I was going to suggest using a url shortener like bitly.com but then realized you're using the iframe/embed. Might still be worth a shot. Otherwise you might want to insert as a hyperlink that would open in a new window, and should maintain your anchor.
