Quickly discussed it during triage, this sounds valid. The console shows a similar icon and hovering on it highlights the element so we should try to be consistent.

Questions are what to do when the linked element doesn't exist (do nothing? mention that we couldn't find the element).
Also do we want to just change the highlighted element, or add a second highlighter?
