Quite often I put the same sample on different tracks, and sometime have to spend ages trying to find where the sound is coming from.
I would seriously love a tool that would highlight patterns where the sample is located
Please forgive my amazing ability to edit renoise gui on an ad hock basis

Isn’t that what auto-capture instrument does?
Select note event in pattern editor, now press left shift+ctrl & enter at the same time and the correct instrument slot wil be selected.
edit; ah I see, you want the matrix blocks to light up, that could be useful.
I often use the count note occurrences tool from Joule to check if I already used a sample or not ( https://forum.renoise.com/t/done-tag-sampled-instruments-that-arent-used-yet/37439 ), maybe code of this tool can be used to not only to collect info on how many times, but also in which track & pattern a sound is used?

that would be amazing - the visual clue could be in the form of track / pattern data

This too might also be a small helper, even if it doesn’t do exactly what you want atm: https://forum.renoise.com/t/tool-3-1-capture-track-from-instrument/34036 . It works the other way around to “auto-capture instrument”, i e goes to the first track where the instrument is found.
I’m a bit tempted to script what you’re suggesting. I don’t think that it’s possible to highlight the matrix blocks though (you don’t wanna change those colors permanently with a script), but maybe it’s sufficient if they flash three times for example? This tool could also have “goto previous/next occurance” shortcuts (if that’s not already native in Renoise). What do you think?
