FR: add a targeting animation for hovering over a chat card to highlight corresponding tokens #10641

This is more of a wish/hope.

Use case.:

as a gm when your players use big aoe spells and you are trying to track which one has saved and which one hasnt to award the correct damage/effect, its often difficult to try and find the correct token when running the game at full speed. it slows the pace of the game down trying to squint on which damage goes to which token.

you can see if you squint which one you are highlighting via the chat card but for running a game i think it needs to be more obvious. like a targeting reticle animation or a hover animation with an arrow similar to the system pings, either via hotkey or always on.

to make it faster to pick out the correct tokens.

If you click the name in the chat card it selects the appropriate token. You can shift click to select more than one. Then click on full/double/half damage as appropriate

i know this but when you are gming many tokens a level of confirmation more than that for quick reference is useful.
