Highlight equivalent blocks in query #30529

Description

@jameskoster

When working with blocks inside a query, it is possible to pseudo-select multiple blocks of the same type at once, and see changes reflected in multiple locations. This is best described with a short video:

multi-block.mp4

However, before the interaction occurs (moving the block in the video) there is no indication that multiple blocks will be affected.

Two areas we can improve the clarity here:

  1. When hovering the Post Title block in List View, all instances in the query could be highlighted on the canvas rather than just one
  2. When the Post Title block is selected, all instances in the query could be outlined on the canvas

I propose that highlighting the pseudo-selected blocks in some way will make these interactions feel a little less jarring.
