Describe the Bug

If you mark a text in a post, a popup comes up with a link, this works perfectly. However, if you are in a table and select text from the third, fourth, etc. line there, the popup appears at the top of the table and only refers to the table and not to the marked section

Steps to Reproduce

Create post
Create a table with multiple rows and columns
Highlight text in a column (e.g. line 8).
Popup with link appears at the top of the table
Call up the link
Contribution jumps to the head of the table and not to line 8

Expected Behaviour

It should work like outside of a table, so that you can mark a text and get a link for exactly this point and when you call up the link, the contribution also jumps to the spot

Screenshots or Additional Context

Normal view with the right link:

In a table:

Thanks for reporting @CptGroot, but the current behaviour is intentional and not considered a bug in current behaviour.
BookStack applies it's IDs, to mark blocks, (Which this systems and others use) to top-level items (In addition to nested headers if existing) of the document to keep the scope and targeting of these consistent and reasonable.
