Yes — in most tools (like InDesign or Illustrator), you can view all anchors/bookmarks in the Hyperlinks or Bookmarks panel. That panel lists every anchor you’ve created so you don’t have to hunt through the document manually.

If you work on a PC - you could use free version of my ID-Tasker tool.

 

It can show Bookmarks, Hyperlinks - with source and destination, or each alone - Text Sources, Text Destinations, Page Destinations, External Page Destinations, URL Destinations.

 

Everything of course clickable - so you can quickly "go there". 

 

Then you can do pretty much anything - rename, export as a list, restyle, use to find something else, etc.
