How to add the hash parameter to my routes method.

Now for the answer

When I posted the question, I didn't got through the url helpers API fully. http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/UrlHelper.html#method-i-link_to

This is how you would usually do it:

link_to "Click", my_path(:anchor => "sometext")

Your routes don't have much to do with it, since the anchor part (#something) is not transferred to the server, it's a pure client-side thing.
