{farsni} has in fact been used for "object x1 points in the direction
of object x2", so that would work for {le va grana cu farsni le vu tricu}

Perhaps {la bab cu farja'o la brendas}, with {faja'o} meaning
"x1 (agent) points towards/shows the direction of x2".

So {farsni} for objects indicating, and {farja'o} for agents indicating,
the spatial direction of something.

These wouldn't involve {farna}, at least not literally. The first one
is covered by {sitna}. The second one is more like an access to,
so it could be {vorme}. {vorme} is not unidirectional, but then
you can always click on the "back" button, so:
