The game works really simple and thus doesn't need this. Sure its nicer from a gamers perspective to get back in the story, but the way the game works, its another way and it works well too.
Basically, when you look at the map, get every i possible on the screen. Once you get a quest completed, the q on the map becomes a ? again, and by ? you can see that a quest is either new in that area or it has a follow-up.
So any screen showing you a q, you can ignore for now. Any screen with an i has an item you haven't gotten. When you pick up an item on the screen, it could be for a quest but that doesn't have to be the case. Coins and dimension crystals will not trigger a q to become a ? but also its possible to get items for quests you already finished.
