CSS anchor positioning enables a "follow-the-leader" pattern where a single positioned element dynamically changes its anchor point based on user interactions. The technique involves setting a position-anchor on the follower element and updating the anchor-name property on target elements during hover, focus, or other state changes. Examples include action bars with roving focus indicators and carousel scroll markers that smoothly transition between positions using CSS transitions.
