Hi Dave, I believe someone on reddit posted something similar a while back, but unfortunately I do not have a link handy.
Where you thinking of having the zoom storyview active so only one tiddler can be open in the story at a time? Otherwise, we need the concept of an active or focussed tiddler in the story, which despite discussions has yet to land in the core. Off the top of my head, the only easy way I see to keep track of which tiddler the user last clicked on in a story, would require editing the page template.
