How can I show simple Node2D nodes in the 2D view, or any other items having no sprite attached?

Selecting them is the closest thing I found, but that comes with its own shortfalls.

If you are using only Node2D with nothing else inside, you can use Position2D node, which has a visible appearance in the editor and is meant to be used as a “location” without ingame visibility.

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed.
