Is it possible to get header links working in the markdown preview?

I have added a link to a header as described in this answer. For example:

Here is a [link](#thing) to the thing.

... some other stuff

## Thing

PhpStorm displays a preview of the rendered HTML, which is cool, but that link doesn't function, although it is displayed as a link, and other links to URLs outside the document do work.

Is there a way to make links like that work in the preview?

I was using the default markdown plugin, and I tried installing the gfm plugin, but that didn't work either, although the Gfm Preview is nice.

Also, I am assuming that my markdown for the link is correct and this is an issue with the preview, but I accept the possibility that I'm just doing it wrong. :) The gfm plugin's "Get HTML" function does show the link I expected, though (<a href="#thing">link</a>) for what it's worth.
