Barycenter labelling

In most of the cases, when you are at a distance where you see the differents bodies of a binary system, the barycenter label is still invisible. Having to zoom in into an invisible point to see it's label don't do much sense. Is there a way to have such label visible sooner? Do the barycenters' labels could be considered as guides? In such case, what about a different colors from the stars? And what about a check box next to others guides (grids, constellations etc) to turn their display on/off?

This looks like a great idea.
Barycenters are very important and are the gravitational center of systems.

Clickable barycenters would be handy, also right-clicking with a few options like bodies in orbit, info, follow, ...
