[x3d-public] Anchor target within scene

[Albert Jan Wonnink]

Thank you for the references provided.
Just to clarify my case I would like to show this scene: https://youtu.be/vPLYxkTrxX8

X3D inline anchor prototype<https://youtu.be/vPLYxkTrxX8>

The behavior here is implemented without any client-side scripting, just with a little extended X3D that allows to specify a target of an anchor within the 3D scene.
The suggested workaround using viewpoints seems complicated for this kind of scenario, but I might be wrong about this.

Implicit capability: if you use a url to bind a viewpoint, that event can trigger other actions via event chains to interpolators or scripts.
