Comment:

 Implementation-wise, this should be as simple as sending up an event from
 the preview with the requested menu item id (which can be retrieved from
 its `<li>`'s id, then focusing the corresponding customizer control object
 via `api.control( id ).focus()`, which will automatically open the menu
 section to that control.

 This is 4.3 material if someone makes a patch soon. See widgets'
 implementation for inspiration.
