Show whitespace symbols only when text is selected

Is there a way to only show whitespace symbols (tab/space from View>Show Symbol menu) when text is selected (similar to how "draw_white_space" : "selection" option in Sublime Text works)?
I'm currently using a workaround — I've set whitespace symbols' color to that of my background so it's only visible when I highlight text, but the contrast is less than ideal, so I'd like to be able to use a different color for whitespace symbols and have an option that would hide them when text is not selected

Description of the Issue

Can't hide whitespace symbols when text is not selected

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

Enable whitespace symbols in View>Show Symbol>Show White Space and Tab

Expected Behavior

Only show whitespace when text is selected

Actual Behavior

Whitespace symbols are always visible

Start at the View > Show Symbol > Show White Space menu entry and trace how whitespace symbols are currently displayed and controlled. The work is done when whitespace symbols remain hidden in unselected text, appear for selected text, and the behavior can be enabled as an option without changing existing users’ settings.
