Description:
Being able to see these when hovering is a great feature, but it would be even better if it could be left on without maintaining the hover.

How to repeat:
Hover over a line or table and see all of the connections and associated columns highlight with colors. Quit hovering and the highlights vanish.

Suggested fix:
Have a toggle under the View menu that allows you to turn the highlights on. Connections could use one color up to the mid-point and then the other color. Table columns are a bit trickier because of multiple connections offering different colors, but using the color precedence currently used when hovering over a table header solves the problem nicely.

You could even get fancy and allow toggling of highlighting on a per-table basis.

I'm sorry, but we have no plans for the foreseeable future to work on the modeling part in Workbench. We are however happy to take PRs from the community on Github for such features.
