Ideas for the highlights from the tutorial (expanding usage)

In the new tutorial Aura helps us find things on screen with some rectangular windows that highlight what we need to press or lock and give some small bits of information. This feature can be expanded into other areas besides the tutorial.
For example:

1. In fleets it can be used to find the designated targets or who needs reps. It should help both new players and old players, but it will mostly be something new players will use until they gain more experience. A vet should be able to disable this from the settings.

2. Allow another player to highlight something in the UI for you. How many times have you guys seen people asking about what they need to do to find something? A new player can ask for help and give someone else permission (right click the name in chat) to highlight UI elements for him (it should be made easy to turn off if need be). This way a vet can guide him step by step similar to how the tutorial did. The vet can right click the button/UI element and select "highlight for x" and it gives him a notification once the player that asked for help did it.

If you guys have suggestions (i'm sure there are many problems that i didn't notice with what i wrote) just say so.

TL;DR target/reps highlights similar to the tutorial for fleets and step by step guiding with highlights by giving permission to someone to help you.

I definately think, at the very least, that the existing fleet targeting/broadcast ui could be updated to use this. Its much more visible/noticable than the current 1/2/3/align/etc. icons.

And one day you learn something completely new and use the fleet history from that day on.

Eve Minions is recruiting.

This is the law of ship progression!
