jQuery when pointed to a link should show a div that's hidden by default

I have a page where there are a few divs hidden by default. I would like to be able to point users to a link where it would show the divs.

ex. https://app.emailsmsmarketing.com/login

Users are able to click "Register" which hides the login div and shows the register div. What I'm trying to accomplish is basically adding a link to the main site from where users will be able to access the registration form by default (using jQuery only).

ex. https://app.emailsmsmarketing.com/login#!register (or something like that)

Basically what I'm asking is:

a) is is possible to do this
b) if so, how?

I'm not sure if this makes sense to anyone. I appreciate any help provided.

    var myUrl = document.location.toString();
if (myUrl.match('#')) { // the URL contains an anchor

  var myAnchor = '#' + myUrl.split('#')[1];
  $('#login').hide();
  $('#register').show();
}
