Feature Request: Named highlight

[wizzard0]

Description:

• after highlighting a string, allow to enter a short description
• display description in popup OR even over the text (when the cursor is away)
• even more awesome: text+clickable URL in description (i.e. smth like highlight "10.33.44.55:7777" with text "PROD MySQL server 7" and URL like "notion.so/prod-server-7")
• load descriptions from .highlights file in project directory (which could then be generated)

Use case: speed up analysis of log files containing a lot of error codes, IP addresses, GUIDs and so on.

It would be especially helpful if you keep using the same pattern and have many patterns to highlight. Thanks for the suggestion @wizzard0

Yep if I understood you correctly you mean something like "enter a regex for IP addresses once and then just click highlights to enter a description for instances of a specific address". Would be great indeed.
