Description
Is your enhancement related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently we don't have any support for semantic highlighting. It would be cool if we could support semantic highlighting so that non-VSCode editors could get color information without having to include a textmate grammar.
Describe the solution you would like
Support for semantic highlighting
Describe alternatives you have considered
None
Additional context
https://github.com/redhat-developer/yaml-language-server/issues/338 was recently closed but I think this is still a good feature to have
