hmm - is this for the case where your cursor is on a link, or where no
link is visible?  For the former case, I (think) it keeps the cursor on
the "same" screen line before/after the toggle.  For the other case, it
currently positions the screen to the nearest link (which I noted is not
entirely satisfactory).

I think it's possible to further improve that (nearest link) by estimating
how far the display is from a link.
