You can put the Scene View into focus mode until the next click.
When you are in focus mode, clicking on an item swivels the camera so that the point clicked is in the center of the view. This point becomes the focal point for the Orbit tools (SteeringWheels and navigation bar) in a 3D workspace only.
In a 2D workspace, the camera is moved to the center of the box of focused item while the z value remains the same.
