HTML Link to class

I know in HTML you can link to an element by ID with # in the address bar, but is it possible to do the same with the classname of the element?

It's possible if you don't mind using jQuery to get around this. The following code targets the class name and scrolls to it.

$("a").on("click",function() {
    $('html, body').animate({
       // add your class below
       scrollTop: $('.contact').offset().top
       // Scroll Speed
    }, 2000);
});

It's not possible to use class names as anchor tags in the address bar. Theoretically classes are supposed to be re-used , and one element can have several classes, so it's not a unique identifier

No. Fragment identifiers can only point to either an a element with a name of that identifier, or an arbitrary element with an id of that identifier, assuming a conforming document where said element is unique.

A class name can apply to more than one element in a document, so it's not certain how a fragment identifier pointing to a class name should behave if there is more than one such element.
