It should be possible to get the closest ally coords for a given coord. This way, when i want to reach a point in space, i could travel with twg to that ally, and then to the target point.

Sure it would be easy, just use this forumlar

distance^2 = x^2 + y^2 + z^2
so:
distance = sqrt (x^2 + y^2 + z^2)

Make a program who calculates the distance from the given coord to each alliance member and let it pick the smallest.

it is already there:
if you have all your allies in your comlist with coordinates, then you can use the link "distance from another center" there to find out the distances

I had the same issue 2 rounds ago, I solved it with an Excel Sheet, which basically tells you how to get there - via an ally TWG or directly... I'm still using that XLS today

But what if you are in The Borg Collective. You should do that 60 times and you must know 60 coords

You have 2 options:

1.) Use my XLS sheet
2.) Leave the Borg

you should have the co ords of your allies especially if you re in borg then use the center as your enemy's coords
if you don t have the coords ask yourself: do they trust you??

If you want to use the 'distance from another center' you must have scanned the enemy planet or ALL your ally's planet. So that option is isn't very usuable.
