Description
often in viewing disassebly, knowing the start address of a basic block is helpful.
radare2 will show the addresses of bbs (see attached), and ida will mark a flag and name a bb like this (locret_400FCA) and show the flag in the graph view.
toggleable addresses of bbs would be useful.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing disassembly and graph-view behavior, then compare the requested toggleable basic-block addresses and selected block or edge highlighting with the examples from radare2 and IDA. Done means the requested indicators can be toggled and appear consistently for selected addresses, with the relevant behavior verified in the affected views.
