**Description**  
A wikilink with a `label:` argument scrolls to the labelled heading when clicked in edit mode. In preview mode the same link only opens the target note (at the top), so the section is ignored.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. `target.typ` has a labelled heading: `== Some section <sec:intro>`
2. `source.typ` links to it: `#wikilink("target", display: "see section", label: "sec:intro")`
3. Click the link in edit mode → jumps to the section (expected).
4. Click the same link in preview mode → opens `target` but does not jump to the section.

**Expected:** preview mode jumps to the labelled heading, as edit mode does.

**Environment:** inkycap-notebox 0.4.0 (`.inkycap/format.json`), Linux (Arch). I saw this with labels like `sec:定义域即物理`; I haven’t checked whether ASCII-only labels behave differently.

**Possible cause (just a guess):** in `notebox.typ`, the HTML `<a>` gets `href="target.typ#label"`, but its `data-target` attribute contains only the note name. If the preview routes clicks through `data-target`, the label is lost.
