>a UI that solves the annoying problem of looking for a referenced figure on another page, which breaks up the flow of reading.

A tangent but this exact issue is what I was frustrated for a long time with pdf reader and reading science papers. Then I found sioyek that pops up a small window when you hover over links (references and equations and figures) and it solved it.

Granted, the pdf file must be in right format, so OCR could make this experience better. Just saying the UI component of that already exist

Zotero's PDF viewer also does this now. Being able to annotate PDFs and having a reference manager has been a life saver.


Thanks for the link! Good to know someone is working on something similar.
