Description

### Feature Description

I'd like to see the connection group color be shown on the query tab. The group color on the connection in the status bar is great but kind of out of sight.

Or, if the connection detail in the upper left could be sticky and also have the group color?

### Problem and Motivation

Quick ID of what tabs are connected to my Prod/Dev groups

Research direction

Start in the query editor area and inspect how the connection group color is currently exposed in the status bar. Compare the two requested presentation options—color on the query tab or a sticky connection detail—and define done as allowing quick identification of tabs connected to Prod or Dev groups.
