anyone have a quick easy way to POINT at an abject in SL? when telling someone "look here" or "look over there" it would be great to have an ability to just POINT to an object or in a general direction.

right click it like you're going to edit it but don't select anything from the pie menu. you'll stick your arm toward it and shoot your laser right at it.

not really related but as long as we're talking about visual clues if you hit TAB you'll look at the last person who said something near you. kinda nice for playing conversation tennis.

SL has a built-in animation called "Point at Other". You can create a gesture for it. Not ideal for identifying a specific object, but good for pointing in a general direction.
