I would like to request that a 'Go To' button be added to the pop up that alerts you to the death of one of your military leaders. When one of them dies, there is no indication which stack of troops or ships he was leading, making it rather annoying to replace, as you need to check all your armies to see which one needs a leader. A go to button that jumps to the location the leader was before he died would be very convenient. If it is not possible, then even just adding the name of the army or navy he commanded to the pop up would help out quite a bit.
[Suggestion] Add 'Go to' button to military leader death pop up

If you have the outliner open, you can see which navies and armies have leaders.
No? So long as you have armies and navies selected for the outliner, you can see every stack. There's an icon beside it if the stack has a leader, and icons will also show if the stack is set to rebel-hunt, on the move, or in forced march.
When the leader dies, the icon is removed, so if you aren't looking at just the right moment, or can't recall which stack had the leader, it doesn't help.
You want a particular stack to have a leader? Easy. Name them.
When playing larger countries where I field multiple stacks, I use a procedural naming scheme. Far as I can tell, there's four kinds of stacks. Military stacks for waging war, siege stacks for pounding their fortress while your armies destroy theirs, rebel hunters, and exploration stacks. Same with navies, where I segregate into trade fleets (named by trade node/region) and flotillas.
You could also just go into message settings and make the game pause and give you a pop-up as well as show on map for when a military leader dies, thereby allowing you to replace the leader if you wish without losing any time at all.
