Highlighting figure calls (\@ref(fig:MyFigName) within an Rmd

[alapo]

I am started using bookdown for some of my manuscripts but I am running into a small annoyance when I write the document. Specifically, it seems that themes won't highlight the special terms used to call figures and tables. This issue was posted on StackOverflow but gained little tractions

The issue I am running into is that when I write something in bookdown the function calling the Figure is not being highlighted properly (see image below).

I have imported my own rsTheme in an attempt to solve this problem myself I don't see an option to add keywords to highlight.

But I would like for the entire function to be colored differently from the inline text (Photoshop version of desired output shown below) which would allow me to differentiate it better from other text in my document

Does anyone have any input on how this could be accomplished?
