Using the outliner to navigate to headings inside of tabs does not work

[charlesdaniels]

When a heading is used inside of a tab, it will always appear in the outline, but if the tab it is inside of is not selected, clicking it in the outline does nothing.

To Reproduce

I will attach a tarball with a minimal redocly site that reproduces this behavior, along with a screen capture demonstrating it. I used npm run dev to run the site shown in the capture.

In the tarball, run npm install then npm run dev.

Expected behavior

Either:

1. Headings inside of unselected tabs do not appear in the outliner.
2. Selecting a heading inside of an unselected tab first selects the tab, then navigates to the heading.

Personally, I would prefer option 2, but I think either could be argued to be correct.

I had to downsale this to get GitHub to accept it. Hopefully the screen recording is not too blurry.
