Hmm, yes. As far as I remember, numbers are needed to know in which
order actions need to be executed, in a form for instance.
But I don't think you need Session>>nextId, it is mostly used for
actions registration. You could use Iliad.Id instead.
Also, #nextId may not be the appropriate name, since it answers an
integer. If someone has a better name in mind...

Iliad.evaluateAnchorAction(anchor) expects a DOM element, not an id.
So Iliad.evaluateAnchorAction(jQuery(#someId)) should work.
