PG, center link targets in tab windows

Clicking link in PG (or in Basic search result) opens resource in new tab with target in top. Sometimes this is the beginning of an article and sometimes it's the end of it. In this case (below), with article "Dragon" in SB, it's the end of it (target verse in red):

Here is the complete article:

I think it would be great (most often) if the target show up in the middle of window (centered between top and bottom). This will IMO give an better overview and eliminate some scrolling.

    It happens a lot because it is the location of the reference - same behaviour in  v3.

    I know the behavior from v3 and I think I understand why it's behave this way but many times when You looking up a search hit for example You have to scroll up to get an idea if this hit was of interest.

    I think it would be an improvement if hits line up with reference or search target in "the middle" of the resource window. Then You can get an direct idea if this is what You looking for. Is it of interest then You have to scroll but if not You can move on in to next hit.

    Most times it does a good job with the article at the top of the window. I'd like to retain that. But I do agree that an "awkward" reference should not be displayed at the top of the window!
