I’m using PDF.js Express Viewer 8.1.1

**Detailed description of issue**  
In PDF.js (Mozilla), the function `getDestinations` can return a mapping from named destinations to references, including figures, tables and equations, as [here](https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/f6d9d91965a97c80b6f5b335a27cdb4d36b1b9e2/src/display/api.js#L768) says. With this function, I can set buttons in other panels that can jump to the corresponding item. However, I haven’t found an API within PDF.js Express that has similar features.

**Expected behaviour**  
I just want to know if there is a way to get the destination of the contents in PDF.js Express.

Hi there!

Unfortunately we do not have any APIs to get a list of named destinations at the moment. I will put it in the backlog to investigate this and see what we can do.

Thanks,  
Logan
