In previous versions of Acrobat, I thought you could set a destination in a pdf and then call it from a webpage to open the document and go directly to the page. I cannot find how to do it using Acrobat DC.
PS. You should not expect linking to a NamedDest to work in most cases, though. It only works when the Adobe plugin is used and the file is opened inside the browser window, which is a very rare occurrence now with all of the built-in PDF plugins that most browsers use.

Anyone? Are they just calling it something different? Where are named destinations?

It's the same as before. You can add new Named Destinations using the Destinations panel on the left hand side.
You can display it via View - Show/Hide - Navigation Panes.

Sorry. Developer and have not used previous versions. Client has document with 100s of named destinations and that many documents referencing them...sooooo... not gonna change anytime soon. I have noticed the lack of support for named destination across platforms ( Android and IOS ) by Adobe. I was fortunate enough to find a third party viewer that works and could easily be replaced if Adobe decides to support their own technology. Support for a single desktop browser in a world of tablets seems a bit myopic. ( Note hint of dispair and disappointment. )

No, Named Destinations are not something that is called something different on the UI. See here for a tutorial about using Named Destinations (in an older version of Acrobat): https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/choose_your_destination
In Acrobat DC, you would still use View>Show/Hide>Navigation Panes>Destinations

I save a file in HTML filtred from a docx Microsoft Word 2013 then I put it on my web site. Using the feature "Create a PDF from a URL" I obtain a PDF that have the anchors (or internal links). They works better than Word itself. The PDF document has the "internal" links (the same links in docx) BUT they have a destination explained in a very cryptic way AND I do not still know how to set it in a modified PDF document standing alone.
