Find units in schematic

Schematic
1

I found it neat that I can use Symbol Fields Table, normally used to bulk-edit symbol fields, that if I select a symbol in the list, it shows me where in the project it is located.

However the list doesn’t show individual units for multi-unit symbols such as logic gate ICs.
Is there a way to locate symbols and their units?

I ask because in my project I wanted to verify I accounted for every logic gate in a logic gate IC package so I wanted to find where all the units were of a particular symbol.

CTRL+F in schematic view can find the different units but you have to know the base designator (e.g. U101 etc.)

Another method is to put the footprints on the PCB first, and then look for unused pads on those footprints. This works especially well if you have both the schematic and PCB editors open at the same time (for example with a dual monitor setup).
