POI Alert from inactive folder, cannot open the item from map!

I just discovered the new(?) folder option in POI alert. It's really useful!

But, one small improvement (big for me) is still missing.
If a choose an inactive folder as the source for POIs, (i.e. these points are not shown on map) and I come within the alert range of the POI, Locus gives an alarm, displays the point's icon and name on map. So far, so very good!
But if I try to open this point by clicking on it on the map, nothing happens.
I have to go to the points menu, select a folder and select the point, very tedious :(

So I want the alerted POI to be clickable on map!

Hello Stebu,
this really happen??

If a choose an inactive folder as the source for POIs, (i.e. these points are not shown on map) and I come within the alert range of the POI, Locus gives an alarm, displays the point's icon and name on map. So far, so very good!

If so, then this is a bug. This should not happen :). Locus should react only on a visible points, not on an invisible once!! I'm playing with it now, and I'm unable to simulate it. Is there anything special you did to get this problem? Thanks

I can't reproduce this behaviour :(. I tried exactly the same steps, but could not get alerts from inactive POIs?

OK, forget this, although it could have opened up new use cases.

Stebu, sorry, but I'm sure it can't work in this way. For this, i have to send some requests to database to get closest POI's etc and this is something I for sure do not do in Locus.

I also do not see any reason why this should work in a way you want. Selecting folders in POI alert should help to get warnings only on wanted points, not on all. That's the only reason ...
