I was hoping to have some useful information, but alas I failed on that count.
Looking at ip(8) it seems that the following ought to work:
ip addr add fd16:a2f5:c4d7::7/48 anycast fd16:a2f5:c4d7::8 dev eth0
However, it seems not to, and then I found this in the manpage :-(
anycast - not implemented the destinations are anycast
addresses assigned to this host. They are mainly equivalent to
local with one difference: such addresses are invalid when used as
the source address of any packet.
