Description

## SPA-style Navigation

The page selector component used in /annotator and the tpen-project-header page turnery currently cause a full page reload on navigation via `location.href`. For a smoother user experience in the future, consider implementing SPA-style navigation:

Listen for a `page-selected` event and do the following:
- Update the URL via `history.pushState()` instead of `location.href`
- Fetch new page data dynamically
- Re-render the annotations without a full page reload

This would require architectural changes to support dynamic page loading in related components and interfaces, but would significantly improve the UX for users navigating between pages frequently.
