It is the "source" annotation attached to "person." Nothing happens when I click on "source." (see attached jpg for reference).

You are right, it would be lovely to see as well all the children in another colour or shade of highlighting. But even so, I should be able to go directly to "source" and see the targeted text, which in this case would be a lighter shade of yellow. This would be nice, because it would be a reminder that this "tag" is embedded, in a sense, or subordinate to another tag (sorry, I know you hate this sort of hierarchical language, but sometime hierarchy is telling).

Does that make sense?

While we are at it, let me make another suggestion. Forgive me if this is in play somewhere, but I can't keep track of all the potential changes we have discussed. At present, when one clicks on a word in the document, it turns green. I believe you decided this is not useful and that you would like to get rid of it. What I would like to see instead is all of the annotations in the tree that are associated with that word highlighted. In other words, to use a highlighting function in the other way, to make connections from the document to the tree, as well as from the tree to the document.

Should I add this as a bug?
