Highlight features using using highlightOptions

How to highlight multiple features of multiple layers on the map? It looks like FeatureLayerView.highlight() can do that and I can setup highlightOptions with different properties.

However, I don't see there is a way to specify angle, style, outline etc with the highlightOptions. Is it possible to setup SimpleMarkerSymbol and use it with FeatureLayerView.highlight()?

In 3.x, there is a way to use FeatureLayer.selectFeatures() and FeatureLayer.setSelectionSymbol(). I guess, it's not possible to do this way in 4.x. I understand I can query features, create a GraphicsLayer and add all features using addMany(). Is this way it is aligned with 3.x?

Hi there,

You will not be able to set the hightLightOptions to use symbols. We however are exploring to add different options so that you can set for the highLightOptions to stand out from the rest of the features on the map.

You can do what you said (using graphicslayer) to use simple marker symbol to show the selected features.
