Plugins NppExec Execute (F6) is much more powerful than plain Run (F5). Install NppExec via Plugins, Plugin Manager. Then in F6 add/save the following:

NPP_SAVE
cd "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
C:Python34python.exe -u "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

In Plugins NppExec Console output filters (Shift+F6) add the following HighLight mask:

*File "%FILE%", line %LINE%

Make sure it's checked, and make it e.g. red and underlined.

Upon "F6/execute" errors will be highlighted and clickable !

This works in NPP568, possibly older.
