Context Highlighting for nodes

I think it would be helpful if, when you select a Store Named Attribute node, it also highlighted any Named Attribute nodes that reference it. This way you never have to hunt them down, just look for the coloured highlight.

I think the same idea could also apply to Group Input nodes that use the same output/s, or even if you just select an input from the Group Inputs panel. That way you can easily see everywhere a specific input is used at a glance.

Another node editor I use does something similar and it makes navigating complicated node graphs much easier.

This is good. It can also be extended to nodes that reference the same data block, like image and group nodes. So many times I started editing some group node that is duplicated and fucking up the hole tree.
