Description
Tested versions
Godot 4.2.1 Mono stable.
GraphElement don't display in the GraphEdit minimap.
There is a need for a way to display a indicator in the minimap.
Thanks.
System information
Godot v4.2.1.stable.mono - Windows 10.0.22631 - Vulkan (Forward+) - dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (NVIDIA; 31.0.15.5123) - AMD Ryzen 7 2700 Eight-Core Processor (16 Threads)
Issue description
The presence of a GraphElement in the GraphEdit, make the minimap react to the interaction with the GraphElement like with the GraphNode.
But, where the GraphNode display an indicator in the minimap, the GraphEdit don't.
Steps to reproduce
Create a scene.
Add a GraphEdit.
Make it FullRect.
Add a GraphElement the GraphEdit.
Add a ColorRect to the GraphElement to make it visible.
Move it around.
The minimap react but display nothing.

Research direction
Start by opening the linked GraphElementMinimap.zip reproduction in Godot 4.2.1 and inspecting the GraphEdit minimap behavior while moving a GraphElement. Compare it with a GraphNode in the same setup; done means GraphElement instances produce a visible minimap indicator while remaining interactive.
