default 3d target

Is there a way to "place a target" in the default 3D view? Not a view where you place the camera

This is what I'm thinking.......For those of you familiar with Rhino, when the model gets to a larger size certain size it gets harder to "spin" around the model. So you can place a target by clicking the cross hairs on the part of the model you are working on, so when you rotate the view it rotates around that point rather than the origin.

Select an Object. Itll rotate around that object.
