    How granualar are these Map IDs? Do they only function on the Topic level, i.e. you can only go to the Topic page, not any specific point/heading within the Topic?

    What you want is context sensitive help (CSH). 

    Here's the official help, although it's for RH2022, so the interface may be different from what you see. The general principles are the same though. https://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/using/context-sensitive-help.html

     

    Also Peter has more information on his excellent site:
