Highlight should work for actual positions
This may have been the reason to always store coordinates (see OP's #3694): so that we are able to show such highlights. Maybe the highlight labels should include the stored date in case of SSOs where you may have multiple entries. To highlight/find any object at some arbitrary current date, just use the Search dialog (F3).
Expected Behaviour
'Highlight all' should take setting of coordinates into account. This checkbox does not exist yet.
When this checkbox is cleared, actual positions should be highlighted. When this checkbox is set, highlighting can show the position as stored in the obs list.
Additionally, toggling the coordinates checkbox should re-run the highlighting routine (toggling between current and stored coordinates, but only if the information is stored in the obs list).
This is similar to double-clicking from within an obs list line, where the behaviour depends on whether date (set->jump to date), location (set->jump to location), FOV, etc are selected.
Actual Behaviour
Highlighted coordinates do not correspond to actual coordinates![image](https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium/assets/3529789/09d1ce15-8966-42fc-9d64-6feb61997dd5)
Steps to reproduce
BUG: the coordinates as stored in step 4 are highlighted, rather than the current coordinates of the object This makes the highlight feature less interesting, as the intention is to highlight the object, not the coordinates it was at some point in time (unless the new checkbox "coordinates" is set).
Workaround
Store the same object without coordinates.
