Auto-Open Handouts

When a handout is assigned to a Player and that Player is currently logged into the window, it would be fantastic if it auto-opened on their table space. That way there is no mistaking where the new handout is, what it is called, etc. This is the equivalent of that moment when a GM slides it across the table to you, and you have to hold it in your hand and look at it long enough to decide where you'll stack it. You know you got it, the GM knows you got it, and nobody has to lose time talking about it. It would help with cross-table flow between players; a fundamental part of the experience.
Maybe a 'show' button on the handout page that opens that handout for its owners, sort of like the ability to center player view on the map?

I like the idea of a Show button as well. The only problem with that is you might be sending it to a player who doesn't have it, while another does, and with the way the share system for it works at the moment, you'd be Show'ing it for every player that has it. That means anyone arriving late, past the initial intro, would derail everyone who had the same handouts already, etc. While auto-popping it would only show the player receiving it.
