Perspective provides insight into the scroll of the _Primary View_ through page properties, but these properties are read-only. To manage scrolling, your best option is probably to provide `domId` attributes to specific components and navigate to them with a URL that includes their emitted `id` attribute.

For example, if you have a very "tall" View - say, 2000px in height - on your `/demo` page, and a component 1200px down the View (out of View on most monitors) which has a `META.domId` value of `target`, navigating to `<gateway_address>:<port>/data/perspective/client/<project_name>/demo#target` would result in the component being visible as the View will scroll to the specified `id`.
