I don't think so. The problem is, it highlights all features with the
same category. Maybe this should be changed to highlight just the
specific feature? The underlying function already supports that, so it
should be easy to change. Should it be in settings perhaps?

Please create a ticket for this so that we don't forget about it.

Thank you
