Use invisible object placeables to mark transitions

For the most part, the area transitions in EfU are easy to spot. But in a lot of the newer areas, there are area transitions leading from one part of an area to another that are not marked in any way, do not glow when you hold the Tab key, and can only be found by hovering your mouse over them. This can get frustrating when exploring new areas, because you basically have to scribble your pointer all over the screen just to make sure you aren't missing something.

Could these transitions be marked with an invisible object or some other kind of placeable that you can highlight with the Tab key? Something as simple as "Climb the Rocks" would be sufficient.

This might be nice for main paths and stuff, but I think some transitions are concealed for a reason and that this system might train people to not look for them.

The rock climbs in the Forgotten Foothills are a particular pain, it's not clear which parts of them are transition hotspots. Generally, there's a gap in the wall/rubble/trees etc but these internal ones tend to lack such clues.
