Request for future feature: highlight component by value. I've got 200+ 0603 resistors of various values to hand solder on a prototype, and it would speed things up greatly if I could see where they were without a trawl through the BOM!

Not EXACTLY what you are after, -but have you tried GOTO=>Components (by Value Contents)? Then right click Select All Find Items.
Then repeat above for each resistor component value.

GOTO component doesn't have that option (or any options) in my version (v23.0.3), either for schematic or PCB...

PCB Editor. Right click right hand side side bar to get a GOTO tab.
There is (should be!) a drop down menu after you click on the GOTO side tab. I think the first sub menu (default) is Component, but if you click on the down arrow alongside Component, you get a full menu, the 5th down is "Componenent (By value Contents)".

The View=>Goto doesn't offer these options! ( I wasn't aware of this fact until now!).

Well bugger me, that's a new one on me. When did that turn up? Thanks for the heads-up.
