Comment(by pvagner):

 I was already trying to do something for this but I failed. So here are my
 thoughts at least:
 When navigating to non-focusable objects such as heading NVDA should
 search for first focusable object in the backwards direction where the
 user is coming from. E.G. I hit h for next heading. NVDA finds the next
 available heading, then searches for the prewious focusable object and
 sets focus to it. Finally it sets navigator object to the heading I was
 originally about to swith to and reports it. The only think I am not able
 to figure out my-self is how to search for the focusable object.
