The technique is to place the thumbtab, as an anchored frame, in its own rotated frame(s) on the marker page, and then 'drive' it down the page by preceding it with a running h/f variable. There are a couple of techniques. You could be completely forgiven for being unable to fox it out ;-)

Looks like this part of the new website isn't totally debugged yet. I have a copy: mail me off list if you want one. I also used Brad's technique, in a modified form, in a recent book, and wrote it up in an article of my own. I can provide a copy of that to anyone who wants it if required.
