If you install my epubcheck plugin for Sigil or Calibre, you can click on an error message to move the cursor to the line that the error message refers to.
The Sigil version will also try to move the cursor to the column position reported by epubcheck. However, the column position that epubcheck reports often points to the closing tag.

name attributes are usually not allowed in epub3 books, globally replacing all name attributes with id attributes should take care of this type of error message.
