Use menus with anchors

Got it — needed to use a walker function. I used a slightly modified version of the one in this tutorial

The main thing I modified was changing

$attributes .= ! empty( $item->url ) ? ' href="' . esc_attr( $item->url) .'"' : '';

to

$attributes .= ' href="#' . esc_attr( basename(get_permalink()) ) .'"' ;

but I will probably refactor the whole thing
