You can use bracketed spans to do this manually, as in:

[Term 1]{#term-1}
...
Reference to [Term 1](#term-1).

We use an auto-identifiers.lua filter that I could probably add to pandoc-ext. This will auto-derive the identifiers from the span content. This allows you to write this:

[Term 1]{}
...
Reference to [Term 1]().

or this (the t: is used as a prefix):

[Term 1]{#t:}
...
Reference to [Term 1](#t:).

The latter example generates this HTML.

<dt><span id="t:term-1">Term 1</span></dt>
...
<p>Reference to <a href="#t:term-1">Term 1</a>.</p>

Pandoc will convert the following markdown:

Term 1

: Definition 1

: Definition 2

Term 2

: Definition 1

To the following HTML:

<dl>
<dt>Term 1</dt>
<dd>
<p>Definition 1</p>
</dd>
<dd>
<p>Definition 2</p>
</dd>
<dt>Term 2</dt>
<dd>
<p>Definition 1</p>
</dd>
</dl>

How easy/straightforward is it to assign identifiers to specific definition items in markdown? For example such that the resulting HTML looks like the following:

<dl>
<dt>Term 1</dt>
<dd id="def-1-term-1">
<p>Definition 1</p>
</dd>
<dd>
<p>Definition 2</p>
</dd>
<dt>Term 2</dt>
<dd>
<p>Definition 1</p>
</dd>
</dl>
