Dynamically expand address section in one-page checkout

I have a checkout UI extension that adds a select element and have added an error if not selected and the customer tries to pay. This is on one-page checkout.

My problem is that when the “Ship to” section is collapsed the error does not show on the element. Is it possible to dynamically expand that section before adding the error?

I have a “page” error as well but still need to highlight where the Delivery area drop-down is.
