Gah!

I would like to be able to click on announcements to see where they are coming from.

Yes.

Seconded.

Very seconded.

Yes! Please!

I spend a lot of time seeing an announcement, then writing down the name (which is always nearly but not quite identical to another name) and searching for them in the unit menu.

In association with this, I'd like to be able to zoom to a dwarf in the unit menu even if it's dead. Let's say it defaults to zooming to the skull if it's decomposed that far, but the main use would be to see where in what general area the murderer is.

You can kind of do that now Hellzon, but it's not as easy at it should be.

Press 'z', go to the stocks menu, go down to 'corpses' (or, if things were really bad, body parts or remains), press tab to switch to viewing individual items, select the correct corpse on the right and press z to zoom to it.

Bumping because my Dwarves keep bleeding to death and I don't know why

Definitely supported. I had a map where I knew that there were monsters in this behemoth chasm somewhere, since all my dwarves were being frightened by running near it, but it took me close to ten minutes of examining all 53 levels of it looking for a tiny 3*4 ridge that had some troglydytes in it - and I never actually found it, I ended up just using the unit listing and checking out all the creatures on the map.
