I have a use case where a certain location in a document can have two

specified an anchor, but a section-number based anchor is required as

Can you elaborate on that? Why cannot you use the same id attribute
value in all references to an element?
1.) An author-supplied anchor may change, but you want to preserve
existing "deep" links from other documents.
The solution seems simple to me: Do not change the anchor id,
ever.
It might be useful to add a note to
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/dom.html#the-id-attribute advising
not to change ids, at least not when they are used for the purpose of
linking to certain parts of the document. Rfc4287 uses the term
“permanent” for atom:ids. That’s a nice word.
