If you just need an id tag for navigation (i.e., it doesn't have
to be an attribute on the heading itself), then the canonical
markup is:

    !! [[#heading]] Heading

This produces  <h2><a id="heading"></a>Heading</h2>, and also
allows the section to be extracted via (:include:).

If you really need it *in* the <h2> tag, you can do:

    !! %block id=heading% Heading

This produces  <h2 id="heading">Heading</h2>  (which I believe is
what you wanted).  One can create WikiStyle shortcuts to reduce
the typing needed for %block%.

If creating a new markup (per Hans' suggestion), I strongly
suggest retaining the use of '#' to indicate tag identifiers
(since that's what is used in urls and CSS):

  Markup('^!#id', '<^!',
    '/^(!{1,6})#([A-Za-z][-.:\\w]*)\\s(.*)$/e',
    "'<:block,1><h'.strlen('$1').' id=\"$2\"'.PSS('>$3</h').strlen('$1').'>'");

This enables a markup like

    !!#heading Heading

to produce

    <h2 id="heading">Heading</h2>
