PDF scientific paper containing clickable citation and a bibliography at the end of the document

SUMMARY

Hello,

This is a feature request based on my daily usage of okular to view scientific papers.
Scientific papers have a lots citation which you can actually click and okular will jump to the corresponding citation usually at the end of the document.

The big frustration is when you are in the middle of reading a big paper, you click on a citation, which brings you at the end of the document.
However, you can't easily backtrack to the place you were earlier in order to continue to read the paper.

I actually would like to help to develop such a feature (I already know a little bit of c++ and Qt but never did anything with kde apart from a little of kirigami)

Thank you for your help.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a scientific paper with clickable citations (see attachment)
2. Click on a citation (this brings you to the end of the document)
3. (Not possible yet) Jump back where you were before clicking on the citation

OBSERVED RESULT

Not possible to jump back after clicking on a citation.

EXPECTED RESULT

Ability to jump back after clicking on a citation

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Thank you all for your awesome work!

Please try shift+alt+left, that works for me.

Ok, this works!

So, before filing this bug, I actually went and search for something in the "Configure Keyboard Shortcuts" menu under "Settings".
And I saw the "Alt+Shift+Left" and "Alt+Shift+Right" shortcut for the "Back" and "Forward" action.
But I confused them with the "Previous Page" and "Next Page" and did not try them myself.

Thank you for your help!
