Make your querystring a regular expression like:

  qstring=/a|b|c/

would highlite objects 'a', 'b', and 'c'. Also be sure to put your template
definition in the HEADER, not in the TEMPLATE. If you put it in TEMPLATE, you'll
get three maps, but by putting it on HEADER, all three objects will be highlited
on the same map.
