We constantly struggle with trying to find features on our model via the model tree. All too often the features (holes, cuts, etc) are very small compared to the part or assembly size... so even though it is "being highlighted" somewhere on our screen... there is no practical way to find it.
When working with the model tree, would love to see a right-mouse button option called something like "beacon highlight" or "small geometry highlight" may be clearer. When selected the system would generate a repeating sequence of expanding circles/curves start with just large enough to circle the requested geometry in the current view and then expanding outwards across the screen like ripples in water when a stone is thrown in.
this way, even if the requested geometry is currently "outside the edge of the users monitor" the would see what side of the monitor the ripples are coming from.
