Attach attributes to a <li> element?

[tmke8]

If I write this

{#main}
- A list item.

the block attribute gets attached to the <ul> element:

<ul id="main">
<li>
A list item.
</li>
</ul>

But what if I want to attach it to the <li> element? Is there a way?

EDIT:

the use case is that I want to reference a deeply nested list item:

- item 1
- item 2

  - nested item

    - nested again
    {#my-ref}
    - important information

  - another nested item

- item 3

[See here.](#my-ref)

Currently not. Any attribute before a list item gets treated as an attribute on the whole list (and a new list starts if you were already in one).

Open to sugestions about how this could be done in a consistent way.

But in a loose list you'll have blank lines between all items.

Perhaps like this?

- beginning of list
- {#foo .bar .baz key="my value"} A list item.
- end of list

It seems to me there is no risk of this being confused with an inline attribute because there is nothing in front of it.

[jgm]

Yes, maybe that's the solution.
Want to create an issue suggesting this?

Done.

But in a loose list you'll have blank lines between all items.

Perhaps this is clearer than words?

{#list}

{#item-1}
-   Foo

{#item-2}
-   Bar
