So in the tooltip for example in some missions it says "this province needs to be governed by" etc., but it doesn't highlight the province when I move the mouse cursor over it nor when I click directly on the province in the tooltip. Is there any way to quickly find out where is the province in a tooltip instead of just manualy hovering over random territories on the map hoping to find out the mentioned province?
 
Search for the province, or shift to the province view to hunt for it visually.

That being said, I:R could stand to import EUIV's "zoom to province" button.

F is the hotkey for territory/province/region search. Sometimes you can hover over the name and see in which province it is. Often times you know where that is.

Yes, another case of "better solution already in-house, let's implement something worse".
Province search is in a number of PDX games, EUIV included. EUIV's "zoom to province" event button is a recent development, and one that as I recall significantly postdates I:R's release.

So it's actually "standard solution already in-house, let's implement it."

Yep, I think I miss-read the intial post. I still have trouble finding the province on the map even when using this though as the UI takes up the majority of the screen. I struggle finsing the right province in EUIV too, I think my eyes are going.
 
Territory search is not a better solution because you have to type the word in - and in IR, there's several provinces with the same Alexandr...

Zoom to cannot be a new feature. I haven't played EUIV in a long time, but in CK, it's right click on the coat of arms and it takes you to the territory. It must have existed for more than 2 years already.

But the main point is, numerous QoL features exist across Paradox games and they weren't implemented in IR on release. That was a huge complaint at the time. With apologists saying, well EUIV's been around a decade already so you can't expect the same level of polish. Except that you can because it's IN HOUSE. They can talk to each other, email each other, ask how a feature was programmed. They don't have to reinvent the wheel.

It's not just in IR. Look at CK3. Several QoL resources are missing from the CK2 itself, the most striking example being the notification manager. Unfortunately it seems to be a trend with the new games of paradox.
