Is LucidChart Scriptable?

I'd like to create a button on the master page that would take the viewer to the "last page viewed". This is an important element in building a dynamic multi-page document that can be navigated effortlessly. The "Page" action is useful to a point but it does not offer the ability to "remember" where the user "came from". Often a "destination" page may be viewed from several different starting points. It makes sense that the "starting point" could be captured as a variable and used in an action to "return to the previous page". If this is not already built into LucidChart can LucidChart be scripted using Javascript?
