I always have trouble locating suppliers and consumers of a factory
This patch changes the consumer/supplier labels on the Connections tab from fabinfo dialog to buttons.
Click on the buttons highlights the consumer and or supplier factories on the map.

They are usually too far away for me to see, but why not. Incorporated in r10037
Hey, it happens to me that when I focus on an object sometimes I don't get it, why not implement this to each focused object if you use the arrow button or the eye in title of the windows? .
What appearance does this provide when in "hide all buildings" mode?

As I feared, this is not working in hide buildings mode. That is, all factories are always highlighted in red, so this feature is meaningless. What do you guys think about this?
What I came up with to deal with this
1) Display a prominent cursor over the head of the factory.
2) Add a border to the factory image. For example, display a 4px wide border in yellow like this.

Just unhide buildings for this works too ... It is just a keypress.

Whether it's something needed for this issue in particular or not, I feel like a "position indication cursor" as an object similar to the floating money messages (spawns at a certain position and stays there for ~ 5 seconds, does not rescale with zoom) would be neat and could be useful in other cases as well. Eg. any go-to button could spawn such a position indicator at the very place you jump to, since it can be a hassle to find if you happen to be zoomed out; scenario-makers could spawn it for clear indication etc.
