Description

As a user, when I mouse over the map with the Identifier Tool active, I want to see the layer's respective legends in the Legend Tool also highlighted.

Do note that while plugins cannot depend on each other, it is still in the patten that they can check for the presence of another plugin and behave and call the other accordingly -- they just must not assume the other plugin is always there or enabled.

Research direction

Start with the Identifier Tool's map mouseover behavior and trace how the Legend Tool handles highlighting. Check for the Legend Tool's presence and enabled state rather than assuming the plugin exists. Done means hovering with Identifier active also highlights the corresponding layer legends when Legend is available.
