Figma file reloading when linking to other pages and frames within the file

I’m creating a presentation within a Figma working file (not slides) where I am creating links to other pages and frames within the file. There are about a dozen links I’ve pasted into the file to take me to other places in the same file. 
 

Every now and then when I click on one of the links, the entire Figma file reloads before taking me to the next page or frame. This is annoying because I want to smoothly walk through this file in a presentation. 
 

it’s a fairly large file containing design explorations across many pages. Is there a way to prevent the reloading? It’s happening at random.
