When I hover over a question/reply number (in this forum), I see the link in the status bar and can use it to insert a link that would open the page in that position.
Example

How do I do that in other pages?
Example2
Example3

In those pages, I can't find any link hovering with the mouse over a specific section.

Thank you.

For example2 you click Share below each answer, and it will show the URL including the anchor to that answer

Thank you Berton and Tookeri. I appreciate your help.

@Tookeri,
That's great.
In Example2, there's a link to question or answers. Where/how did the poster find them?
And in general, is there another technique, or I should always look for the-not-so-prominent links?

Thanks agaim.

I guess the poster already knew about them, or checked out the page source and looked for ID tags. If you're not familiar with HTML it might be difficult, but try searching for id=" The problem though is it's usually lots of them in a page.

Here's a few lines from the page source that defines the question link:
HTML:
             <div id="question-header">
             <h1 itemprop="name"><a href="/questions/382047/linking-to-a-specific-scroll-position-on-a-web-page" class="question-hyperlink">Linking to a specific scroll position on a web page</a></h1>         </div>
             <div id="mainbar">
So in this example you take the URL to the page and add #question-header at the end
