Jquery Accordion - use anchors to open specific pa

Question

I am using a jquery accordion (Jquery 1.9/Jquery-ui-1.10.1). I would like to link to the page from external pages with an anchor tag. When an anchor tag is used I would want to open a specific panel on the accordion. For example, if I pass a #panel2 anchor tag, I would want to open and display the second panel.

I also have images on the accordion page that also need to link to specifc panels in the accordion.

Can anyone help with this?

HTML:

<a class="opener" data-panel="0" href="#">Open Section 1</a>
<a class="opener" data-panel="1" href="#">Open Section 2</a>
<a class="opener" data-panel="2" href="#">Open Section 3</a>
<a class="opener" data-panel="3" href="#">Open Section 4</a>

<div id="accordion">

jQuery:

var $accordion = $("#accordion");

$accordion.accordion();

$(".opener").on("click", function () {
    var $this = $(this),
        toOpen = $this.data("panel");

    $accordion.accordion("option", "active", toOpen);

    return false;
});
