Frame Animation Timeline Layer Activation

I animate in Photoshop for games. I love the functionality of the frame animation timeline, but when i toggle between frames (as you do when animating) the layers used in the animation will be highlighted, but not active and selected. This is extremely frustrating for me as an animator. 

The Video timeline doesn't seem to have this issue, which goes to show that somewhere out there, someone wanted to make things easier for animators. However, I cannot use the video timeline for my purposes. 

I know an issue with this proposed functionality is "what if a frame has several layers?" 
I think the easiest solution is just to pick the topmost layer in the array. 

If this cannot be implemented, I would love for an angel programmer out there to make a script for it.
