Description

See https://github.com/aframevr/aframe-inspector/issues/689#issuecomment-1646793789 for the context where we have mixins setting a gltf-model component.
Currently in the right panel we don't visualize that a component is coming from a mixin and that removing a mixin will remove associated components. Changing background color could be an enhancement here.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the right panel displays components and how mixins set the gltf-model component. Reproduce a component supplied by a mixin, then define the completed visualization so its mixin origin and the components removed with that mixin are clear, potentially using a background color as suggested.
