I'm wondering whether it's possible to change the hash in window.location.hash and replace it with 'this.id'. Or would I need to change the entire window.location?

Yes, you can. I do something similar at one of my sites, although with href instead of id, but id works too. A quick example:

$('a[id]').click(function(e)

{

    // This will change the URL fragment. The change is reflected

    // on your browser's address bar as well

    window.location.hash = this.id;

    e.preventDefault();

});
