Is there a way to return to the same tab panel after navigating to another layout?

I’m using Filemaker Pro 19. On one layout, I have a tab control with multiple panels. On each panel, there are buttons with scripts to navigate to another layout and perform a specific search (e.g. press the button for ‘apples’ and it will direct you to a layout showing you the results for searching for ‘apples’ records). This tab control helps us spatially orient in the data (think of a map, click on “USA” on the map and it directs you to a layout with all the records about “USA”). Once you’re on the second layout sometimes you want to return to the “map” layout, so there’s a button to navigate back to that layout (e.g. you realize you didn’t want to click on “USA”, you wanted to click on “Canada”). Each panel of the tab control has a different set of buttons (e.g. one panel for North America, one for Europe, etc).
