Beacon for teammates
It would be nice to be able to highlight a certain territory when chatting with teammates. This would help to better coordinate attacks/support. Instead of saying "Hey, attack Braunschweig from Thueringen", "What? You've never played the Germany map before? N00b!". We could just say "attack here" and then make the beacon flash.
Use ctrl+click or shift+click on territories or bonuses to link them. Can also use the link button.

just ctrl click (cmd+click on mac) the territory while you are in the chat box. a link is created to the territory and if they click it, it shows on the map.

Since you can now automatically insert the name of a territory into chat (ctrl click), it would be nice if clicking the name in chat would link to selecting the territory.

i first read the title of this as 'bacon for teammates'. i would have voted for that but not for this.

Absolutely, I've wanted this for so long. You really can't use the names of territories/bonuses on large, uncommon maps. I often resort to saying things like "The blue bonus just north of my territory in the west". A beacon would be so much easier.
