Many times I do a search for some NPC, quest item, or Mob and when I click on it, many times I can't see the flashing thing. Too many POIs displaying or lots of overlap hiding it. (DrumsUI is my main UI and I am using his set of icons). In any case, instead of briefly flashing something on the map, I'd prefer it to set a path with the flashing X and direction indicator as if I had clicked on it in the map. Make it an option as I am sure some do not want it to act this way.
Right now, I sometimes have to type in the POI numbers and then click "Path" to see where something actually is.
Anyway, just a thought.
