Description
## Motivation
When users select a location from a list (not on the map, a separate list), we want to highlight the corresponding marker on the map.
Marker has options to set initial color, scale, but can't change them:
https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api/markers/#marker
Same for 'label', which is documented at
https://docs.mapbox.com/api/maps/#marker
but not at https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api/markers/#marker
Hope 'label' support wasn't dropped, it's extremely useful to add 2 digit numbers/letters to standard markers, without going through the complexity of a custom marker.
Thanks!

Research direction
Start with the linked Marker API documentation and inspect how the existing color and scale options are exposed. Clarify the intended setter behavior and whether label support is still expected before changing the public API. Done means the requested marker properties can be changed after creation and the supported behavior is documented.
