I spend hours searching for these blue babies.

Is there a solution?

    This is the easiest way I know of. Unfortunately you cannot setup a shortcut key for it though.

    Select the object then in the layers panel at the bottom, select the magnifying glass and it will highlight the layer. I learned this in the Adobe Illustrator Advanced Course by Dan Scott on Udemy. I highly recommend (especially if you get it on significant discount. They frequently run sales.)
