Hightlight hovered items even if they are selected already in the FileSystem

Describe the project you are working on

prototype

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project

As you can see in this recording:

simplescreenrecorder-2023-07-28_17.47.31.webm

items don't get highlighted on hover if they are part of a selection.

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

Highlight the hovered item in another color if it happens to be part of a selection. The item alone should be highlighted and not the whole selection since clicking it clears the selection.

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams

use yet another highlight (a slightly brighter one than the current "selected" overlay) and show it when each item is hovered.
Here's how nautilus behaves:

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

it's a minor UX thing that occurs often

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?
