\Get:SecAnchor macro does the job of inserting anchor id's as shown  
above to various anchor points. It has further implications and role  
in several places like TOC, next, previous, top, up, etc in a html  
page. If you want to use your label as the anchor point, I am afraid,  
it is a non-trivial task, particularly when your label occurs after  
the occurrence of a chapter heading. The following macro does the job  
of configuring chapter mark:

  \ConfigureMark{chapter}{\HCode{<a id="chp:ChapterTitle"></a>}}

You need to insert the label string as a parameter in place of  
'chp:ChapterTitle' so that your can use the above function in a  
generic fashion to insert labels as id's wherever possible. I would  
appreciate to see your results if you are successful to configure  
chaptermark successfully.

Best regards
