Synchronizing highlight layer with moving feature layer

I have realized that in Geocortex HTML5 Viewer, highlight layer and moving feature layer are not synchronized.
Therefore, when user selects a feature from a moving feature layer which updates it's location with an interval, highlight cirlce stays at a constant location while feature changes it's location. This does not seems to be very handy.

I suggest to make highlight layer synchronized with feature layers.
 
This observation is done using HTML5 Viewer version 2.9.2 (GE version 4.8.2).

  If the highlight was done with your own search workflow, you could run a timed thread (looping) that re-selects (re-draws) the currently selected items.

  Example :

  1. You select 6 point features with your "multiple-tracking Identify" workflow (ex: 6 cars moving on your map)
  2. Your workflow remembers the 6 ObjectIDs of the highlighted cars.
  3. Every 5 seconds, you loop through a procedure that "refreshes" your selection-set : erase the 6 old circles, and re-draws them at the 6 new locations.
  4. Note that your custom workflow will need a "stop tracking" function, otherwise it will be very confusing if you want to select something else (a parcel/propery for example)
