How can I lock history library from scrolling-to-top when I opened a history link?

I'm looking for some page in my deep history, after I opened a link, I hope the history library scroll will stay on the current position, then I can continue to find other links I need, but it's always scrolling to the top after I open a link.

This is a limitation of the Library window: it only shows the date/time of the latest visit to a URL.

I can only think of one workaround: to check a URL without adding a new visit to history, use right-click > Open in a New Private Window. (Or right-click then tap the letter P to reduce the risk of mis-clicking.)
