P: Reference View: need more flexible options for Zoom in reference photo

In Reference View, I would like the option to Zoom in on the Reference Photo in the same way I Zoom in on the Active photo.  Ideally this would work like Sync in Compare View.

 

My use case: I want to evaluate two different approaches to enhancing color in two versions of the same window.  I would like to be able to edit the photo in the Active window as I make the comparison.  The 100% Zoom option for the Refernce window is shows too small an area.  I need the flexibility to use the normal Develop Zoom tools, ideally synchronized across both photos for efficient working.

I am also equally as frustrated with this. I wish this got more upvotes. An extremely simple limitation in an extremely common use case is Adobe's bread and butter it seems like.

Why on earth is my reference photo zooming in at 100% while my Navigator panel is set to 25%? Why is there no way to make them equal? Why is there no way to make them coordinate with each other? Why is there no multivariate options?
