R Markdown produces slides which can be href'd by title; this should work:

## Slide 1

This is the first slide. I'd like to be able to insert hyperlinks to
a different page within the slide. For example:

[Slide 2](#/my-second-slide) - clicking this would jump to slide 2

[Slide 3](#/my-third-slide) - clicking this would jump to slide 3

## My second slide

Text for slide 2

## My third slide
