Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Had a Devtools extension user request this, and I thought it could be a pretty cool addition. original thread below:
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-edge-devtools/issues/445

When debugging something related to DOM it is quite handy to know why element you currently have in your scope (in TS of JS file) Browser DevTools allows you to mouse over it and highlight in on the page. VSC DevTools do not. Same is true for the console in the browser and in vscode.
