That'd be handy especially for remote, spell-based searching - the classic Arco-Ulm alliance, with Arco casting Akashics for Ulm. And less tricky than recoding the game to allow actually "friendly" movement by allies.
But what I mean by "adding it to the list" is to add it to the list of things that people already do in the game. Most of the diplomacy/ally screen things are already being done by creative play which I like much more than adding a menu to the game for it.

In your Arco-Ulm arrangment.. an Arco scout follows behind the Ulm army. When Ulm takes a province and moves on then the Arco scout takes the province, Arco cases akashics as the scout moves on. Another scout or a researve army is following behind that to retake the searched province.

Its actually much easier to do when a nation has sneaking mages.
