Description Samuel Mehrbrodt (allotropia) 2023-09-21 20:49:32 UTC
When you use the navigator and click on a heading/shape/link/etc, the selected element gets visually highlighted in the document.

The same method should be used when using the A11y sidebar to jump to an issue object.

Hi Samuel,

Perhaps something like what is shown in the attached demo is what you have in mind?

Great! I'll have time this weekend to try to get something together that is reviewable.
