Page number widget with a text box for the page name, but not for the page
number

SUMMARY
This is a bit inconvenient. When you view a LaTeX presentation which holds
multiple versions of the same slide, many slides have the same number, and you
can’t type an exact page number into the page number widget.

The page number widget is like this:
< [ page ] of pages >
When pages have names other than just numbers it is like this:
< [ name ] number of pages >
So you can only enter a name, like 16, but not a number like 144, 148, 150, ...
Entering 16 is not sufficient, because many pages have this name.

Would it make sense to additionally allow entering a number, like by clicking
on the number (i. e. on the 150 in the screenshot)?

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
– Equivalent for the page bar, which isn’t the default anymore.
– I call it page name here, because I don’t remember the precise name for this.
