Under the Preview menu there is an option "Save Preview position".
Does this not do what you want for the .pdf file?
(It's grayed-out when a .tex file is foremost.)

Here is another request for a new feature.

It would be nice to be able to easily access the "Finder Info"
for the PDF output from within the Preview window;
e.g. file-size, full path to location, modification date, etc.

Also, it would be nice to be able to easily access the "PDF Info"
that is put into the PDF by the process that was actually used:
  title, creator, producer, keywords, modif. date, etc.


For the latter, there's no need to be able to edit these
  --- though that would be a great feature to have too! ---
but just to be able to check that you have done what you
intended, with  hyperref  package options, or  \hypersetup
commands, or with whatever other method was actually used.


Of course all this info is available anyway, by switching to
another program, such as the Finder or Adobe Reader, respectively.
My request is to avoid the need for making this kind of switch,
and the hunting through directory trees that it entails.
