There are major problems using redirects as sitelinks. The top one is that they do not always point to the concept they should, and even if they do, there is no guarantee that this redirect will keep pointing to the same place (normally to a section of another article), since the section title can change.
Wikipedia supports section labelling: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Labeled_section_transclusion It would be nice if someone from wd-dev could take a look and see if this could be the basis to link items with a stable section identifier in a WP article. Or if that is not possible or far from ideal, then see what other approaches are available.
