Opening or navigating to sidebar links should focus/scroll to the sidebar item

[shinebayar-g]

Describe the bug

Opening or navigating to sidebar links should focus the sidebar item. (Similar to VSCode's "explorer.autoReveal": true setting) Currently if sidebar is really long or out of the view port, it's not possible to know where I'm at.

Reproduction

Example 1

• Go to https://vitepress.dev/guide/sitemap-generation
• Scroll down the sidebar
• Click on the Guide text in the nav bar
• https://vitepress.dev/guide/what-is-vitepress page will be opened, but sidebar will stay in the position

Example 2

• Go to https://docs.meteor.com/packages/url.html
• Page you're seeing is listed down in the Packages > url sidebar item. But sidebar scroll position won't move.

Expected behavior

Opening sidebar link should focus on the sidebar item. If sidebar is long, it should scroll down the sidebar scroll position.
Example: Opening this page would automatically scroll down the sidebar position https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/tutorials/type-providers/troubleshooting-type-providers

System Info

npmPackages:
    vitepress: 1.4.1 => 1.4.1

Additional context

Not sure if it should be considered as a feature request.

Is there any workaround that I can use for now? 🥹
