Show name of compiler options when linking

Hello,

I often want to link to specific compiler options in your online docs
but the problem is that the named anchors are placed after the name of
the option so when the link is clicked it will only show the
description.

Example:
  https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html#index-Wshadow
  Will show the description for -Wshadow but not the name -Wshadow itself.

I think it would be very useful to be able to link in such a way that
the name of the option also becomes visible. If this somehow breaks
backwards compatibility you could introduce new ones that refers to
the name and let the old ones refer to the description like it is
today.

Best Regards,

Peter
