dbstop inside an anonymous function

Is there a way to set the debugger to stop inside an anonymous function?
The following obviously won't work
dbstop in myAnonFunction
because myAnonFunction is internal to my script. I can of course accomplish what I want with
dbstop if error
and then insert an error into my anonymous function. But this is hardly good practice! There must be a better way...
Thanks, Leo

As you may know, in the editor, inside a script you can click on the little hyphen next to the line number, and that will set a breakpoint.
If there is an anonymous function definition on that line of the script, you will be asked if you want the breakpoint at the beginning of that line of code, or at the anonymous function (i.e. whenever that function is called from elsewhere in the code).
EDIT in response to comment:
You can do this programmatically as follows:
>> dbstop in filename at 3@
will put a breakpoint at the anonymous function on line 3 of the file filename.m.
This is described in the section on "location" in
>> doc dbstop
