Hi!

I am trying to navigate to a page in the Zotero reader. However, the code below does not work with "Run Javascript". The navigate method is defined but nothing happens when I run the code. What is the correct way to do this?

Thanks!

const window = Zotero.getMainWindow();
const reader = Zotero.Reader.getByTabID(window.Zotero_Tabs.selectedID);
await reader._internalReader._primaryView.navigate({
pageIndex: "5"

})

To answer my own question, navigate is exposed through the reader object so the code below works. I don't think setSelectedAnnotations (or something similar) is exposed from the reader. Would be great to have that so this works `reader.setSelectedAnnotations([annotationItem.key])` (current error is `Error: Permission denied to access property "length"`)

window = Zotero.getMainWindow();
const reader = Zotero.Reader.getByTabID(window.Zotero_Tabs.selectedID);
