I do not know why my link [for which I spent valuable time searching] disappeared, but let's try again -
http://boards.ancestry.com/topics.software.famtreemaker/8311...

And, yes, the title of the thread includes the letters "FTM," BUT the solution, outlined by sl_kelly at 31 Mar 2012 at 8:14 PM works in ancestry trees.
Do I wish ancestry would fix? Of course! But, in the interim, what works, works.

Quote, [just in case the link disappears again]
From the blank page that loads, delete everything after the number that follows /tree/ in the url. This will take you to the pedigree view of the tree where the item you what is located. Navigate to the person you want and you'll be access to any media/stories attached to the person.
