Description
I sometimes have trouble seeing messages like this in the console due to the general noisiness.
https://forum.playcanvas.com/t/cannot-read-properties-of-undefined-reading-hasownproperty/21940/3
Having something like these tags could help with this and also help users see them easier without coming to the forums
We can do this via CSS styling https://dev.to/annlin/consolelog-with-css-style-1mmp but would likely need to use an existing package or create our own logging system.
