How do I get linked shapes on different pages show as selected?

I linked shapes on two separate pages in a Visio document. However, when I
right click and follow the link, the other page displays and the shape to
which the first shape was linked is not highlighted in any way.

How can I get the specific linked shape to be selected when I follow the
link? It doesn't do me much good to just go to page 2 and not know which
shape is linked to the shape on the first page.

I think the only way to tell is by which shape is centered.
If menu Tools -> Options -> General -> Center selection on zoom
is set the you can use the zoom to see whch shape it is.
