NewVisual indicator of ALL fields with relations in model + highlight ALL on mouseover of table

In the existing Power BI desktop, when you mouseover a table relation connector line, it highlights the two fields involved in the relation in their respective tables. Very useful.
Two related and also useful enhancements would be:
- Provide a static (always present) visual indicator of ALL fields involved in relations in the entire model (maybe slightly different back color or dotted outline)
- When mousing over a table itself, highlight ALL fields in the table that are involved in relations, as well as all their corresponding fields in related tables (so basically the same as what happens how when mousing over a connecting line, except in the other direction)
This would make it much easier when doing work on complex models that, that often may have been designed by someone else.

RE: Visual indicator of ALL fields with relations in model + highlight ALL on mouseover of table
This would be a very informative enhancement, and I'd think fairly easy to implement. All of these relations already exist in metadata, and code already exists for mouseover events and highlighting the corresponding fields and connectors, so it should just need an on_load modification for the first request, and the addition of a table mouseover event whose implementation is very similar to the connector mouseover.
