Going back to a annotation

I'm new to Zotero, but already getting the hang of it. I like the application because it helps me organize research papers. Currently I'm annotating papers which are then compiled into the 'annotations' list.

What would be great is that if I click on a annotation, it would open the section of the paper where I made the annotation. Is this possible?

When you click on an annotation in the left annotations panel of the PDF reader in the desktop app, it does jump to that annotation in the PDF.

Thanks for the reply! I actually mean in the main Zotero window. There you can find the annotations. These can't be clicked I'm afraid. :(

It would be nice indeed to be able to open the annotation in the Reader when double-clicked in the attachment annotation preview (Annotations section of the Item Pane of an attachment in the library tab).

Same as here:
