Is it possible to navigate programatically to a tag within the Markup/XAML?

Let's say I have some markup which is too long to hold visible at the same time. Thus I use a ScrollViewer-element to show the scrollbars if needed. By default the Markup control shows the topmost part of the rendered XAML, like this;


Notice that each Border-element is directed to the correct cell by using Grid.column and Grid.row. Also, each Border element has an unique Tag-element. 

If I want to automatically scroll down to the latest cell with Tag == "9", is that possible?

The complete markup for the sample above is here;
<Page xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation' xmlns:x='http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml'>
   <ScrollViewer Width="140" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility='Auto' VerticalScrollBarVisibility='Auto'>
      <Grid VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
         <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ColumnDefinition MinWidth="50"/>
         </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
         <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition MinHeight="50"/>
            <RowDefinition MinHeight="50"/>
            <RowDefinition MinHeight="50"/>
            <RowDefinition MinHeight="50"/>
            <RowDefinition MinHeight="50"/>
            <RowDefinition MinHeight="50"/>
            <RowDefinition MinHeight="50"/>
            <RowDefinition MinHeight="50"/>
            <RowDefinition MinHeight="50"/>
         </Grid.RowDefinitions>
         <Border Tag="1" Background="Red" Grid.Column = "0" Grid.Row = "0">
            <TextBlock>1</TextBlock>
         </Border>
         <Border Tag="2" Background="Yellow" Grid.Column = "0" Grid.Row = "1">
            <TextBlock>2</TextBlock>
         </Border>
         <Border Tag="3" Background="Cyan" Grid.Column = "0" Grid.Row = "2">
            <TextBlock>3</TextBlock>
         </Border>
         <Border Tag="4" Background="Red" Grid.Column = "0" Grid.Row = "3">
            <TextBlock>4</TextBlock>
         </Border>
         <Border Tag="5" Background="Yellow" Grid.Column = "0" Grid.Row = "4">
            <TextBlock>2</TextBlock>
         </Border>
         <Border Tag="6" Background="Cyan" Grid.Column = "0" Grid.Row = "5">
            <TextBlock>6</TextBlock>
         </Border>
         <Border Tag="7" Background="Red" Grid.Column = "0" Grid.Row = "6">
            <TextBlock>7</TextBlock>
         </Border>
         <Border Tag="8" Background="Yellow" Grid.Column = "0" Grid.Row = "7">
            <TextBlock>8</TextBlock>
         </Border>
         <Border Tag="9" Background="Cyan" Grid.Column = "0" Grid.Row = "8">
            <TextBlock>9</TextBlock>
         </Border>
      </Grid>
   </ScrollViewer>
</Page>

Ahhh, I see there is something named FindName on CXTPMarkupObject. I'll test it out!

Yes, I'm doing something similar, having a progress list and then automatically scrolling to the "active" step. I however use the Name argument and not the a Tag argument. Maybe you can use the following pseudo code to be inspired:

Update my long list of Markup, setting the name of the step to "active". So basically rewriting my markup every time. But you could probably use different names.
CString sStep;
sStep.Format(
  _T("<Border Grid.Column='%d'>")//
  _T("<TextBlock Name='%s' Margin='10,0,10,0' HorizontalAlignment='Center'
 VerticalAlignment='Center'>%s</TextBlock>")//
  _T("</Border>"),
  i,
  pStep == pCurrentStep ? _T("active") : _T(""), // current step
  sStepText);

Doing the scrolling based on finding the Name "active"

int GetProgressScrollPos()
{
  // get current scroll position
  int nChildCount = m_stepProgress.GetUIElement()->GetVisualChildrenCount();
  if (nChildCount == 0) return 0;
  CXTPMarkupUIElement* pElement = (CXTPMarkupUIElement*)m_stepProgress.GetUIElement()
->GetVisualChild(0); // scrollviewer
  if (pElement == NULL) return 0;
  CXTPMarkupScrollViewer* pScroll = MARKUP_DYNAMICCAST(CXTPMarkupScrollViewer,
pElement);
  if (pScroll == NULL) return 0;
  int nPos = pScroll->GetScrollPos(SB_HORZ);
  return nPos;
}
void SetProgressScrollPos(int nPos)
{
  CXTPMarkupObject* poScroll = m_stepProgress.GetUIElement()->FindName(_T("scroll"));
  CXTPMarkupScrollViewer* pScroll = MARKUP_DYNAMICCAST(CXTPMarkupScrollViewer,
 poScroll);
  if (pScroll == NULL) return;

  pScroll->SetScrollPos(SB_HORZ, nPos);
}
void AutoProgressScrollPos()
{
  CXTPMarkupObject* poScroll = m_stepProgress.GetUIElement()->FindName(_T("scroll"));
  CXTPMarkupScrollViewer* pScroll = MARKUP_DYNAMICCAST(CXTPMarkupScrollViewer,
 poScroll);
  if (pScroll == NULL) return;

  CXTPMarkupObject* poActive = m_stepProgress.GetUIElement()->FindName(_T("active"));
  CXTPMarkupTextBlock* pText = MARKUP_DYNAMICCAST(CXTPMarkupTextBlock, poActive);
  if (pText == NULL) return;
  CString s = pText->GetText();
  CRect rc = m_stepProgress.GetUIElement()->GetMarkupContext()-
>GetClientBoundingRect((CXTPMarkupUIElement*)poActive);

  pScroll->SetScrollPos(SB_HORZ, max(rc.left - 100, 0)); // offset 100 into the page
