How to Zoom to a Text Anchor Reference in InDesign for PDF Viewers

I have several instances in a complex document that is published in both PDF and print format, where there is a reference to a drawing on a different page. "See closeup on Page 44" being a typical example, appearing on P. 43 or elsewhere. I have created a text anchor within the closeup, and the hyperlink to the text box works OK, but I would like to be able to zoom in directly to the entire closeup rather than the whole page.

I mean it's functional the way it is, but ideally I'd like the PDF viewer to increase the zoom level to show the entire frame of the closeup rather than the whole page.

You set zoom level for links/bookmarks in Acrobat as final-tweaking of the PDF.

With many hundreds of internal links, including simple page jumps, I don't know if that's possible to do for maybe 15 or 20 such references.
