I have code to highlight specific map markers (overlaid with a size 32 yellow marker with 0.25 opacity), but I'd love to use that cyan "target" marker that the esri.dijit.Popup dijit uses. Can I grab that marker from somewhere in the API, or is there code to create it?

Code to create that symbol uses some undocumented methods. Here's how you can use it in your app:  http://jsfiddle.net/7wand/

Jamie,

My code is behind a firewall, so I can't post it. Take a look at the fiddle Derek S. posted, particularly lines 33 through 48.

In my case I have graphics layers displaying search results from different sources. The click to highlight a particular result does not always occur as a map click; sometimes it's from the search results panel. When I place the highlight marker on the map, I give it a "hilite" attribute. I included a function to search for this particular attribute in the graphics on the map and remove the graphic when the user clicks on the map, clicks on the panel, or runs a new query.
