[Idea] Link place to chat.

Vostorn

Good morning,

There are two things that often come to my mind when playing :
- When I want to speak of a specific place in the game, I don't always know the name of that place is in english. Reciprocally, when someone is speaking of a place in english, I don't know which place it is. Fortunately, there are add ons than can help with this.
- When someone is speaking of a place, no matter the language, I don't know where is that place and I spend much time looking in the map where it is.

There is (quite) simple solution to that : we could be able to right click on a place and link it to the chat. Location name would be translated into target client (as it already is with item links) and when we click on that link, it opens the map with a pin on the proper location.

What do you guys think ?

Also adding an option to link an ability into chat will help with the language barrier in some conversations.

I'm actually surprised this ISN'T already a feature in the game. Agreed 100%.

If you are in group you can create a ping or rally point on the map.
