One solution:
1. Create anonymous-question folder under qa-plugin/.
2. Make plugin files under anonymous-question.

3. Add link
3.1 Example of "Admin" > "Pages" > "Add Link"
- Text of link: "Ask a Question as Anonymous"
- Position: "After tabs at top"
- Visible for: "Anybody"
- URL of link: "ask?anonymous"
3.2 If you hope to create link banner, you can use "Widget Anywhere" plugin@Scott.
You can override any default permission with this plugin. However, as spam risk increases, generally anonymous posting is not recommended.
