For simplicity, pull request #165 only implements hover highlighting for outline items that aren't selected. This is consistent with some mature, polished interface components, like the file explorer in VSCodium 1.100.13210 and the conversation chooser in Signal Desktop 8.16.0, but it's not ideal for our outline view. In the outline view, it's not unusual to have many elements selected at once; in this situation, we still want visual cues that elements are interactable and a visual indicator of which element we'll interact with if we click. We should therefore extend hover highlighting to outline items that are selected.
