Description
Say I'm reading a specification with a lot of internal (#) links that I'm clicking pretty often because specs are hard.
After reading the description of the thing I clicked, I want to keep reading from where I clicked it
I think these jumps should be part of the previous position register, or better yet, a jump list
Currently, there are 2 ways to do this, that I could find: ma <click> <read> <backtick>a, and <c-click> gt <read> x, none of which are ideal.
We could use a jump-list anyway, and c-o/c-i commands to navigate it

Research direction
Start by tracing how internal (#) link clicks are handled and how the previous position register records jumps. Compare that behavior with the c-o/c-i navigation described in the issue; done should mean internal-link jumps can be navigated back to the reading position through a defined jump-list behavior.
