Is there a special "Back" swipe?

I'm genuinely curious. Because right now, if there's no return link in the footnote or appendix entry, pressing the "Back" button gets me right back to my place in the text. Quick as a wink.
You press option button, tap "History", tap "back" arrow.
505 had a history button, i.e., one click. I still miss it
