A Useful Feature of Unity's Debug.Log

This really isn't hidden, but somehow we've been using Unity for years without ever realizing.  Debug.Log (and related methods) actually have a second argument you can fill in.   Pass it an Object as a second argument, like so:

Debug.Log( "Some sort of problem!", myGameObject );

This will print to the Unity console as normal, but filling in the object means clicking on the log entry will take you to that object in the hierarchy.
