Thanks for the dialogue on this.

So it sounds like the current status is that the current location is available via Python, but there is no guarantee that it's correct because it may wait for several seconds to ellapse w/o a page turn before updating the information. Is that correct?

My use case is to create a citation for the current position from outside the app, so I don't think the current functionality (if correctly described) will work for me. I would need to be able to count on it being accurate.

I was hoping for a programmatic equivalent to the "Go to location" GUI feature, or (maybe even better) reference mode location.

Are you open to a feature request?
