Persistent Overview Highlighting and Tagging

So, we had the fantastic update to the overview recently which gave us a bunch more tabs to use (best update ever).

I was thinking about it when docking up today, but one of the best things in terms of Quality of Life in having a keepstar is it has a different icon in the overview. Fortizars have the same logo as astrahuses (this should probably be looked at too tbh), and all station look the same, but I can just glance at the icon and blindly warp to the only thing resembling the keepstar icon.

This gave me the idea that some sort of customization tagging or coloring in the overview for specific objects in space would be super super useful.

By this, I mean something like tagging the kick out station in Tama red (similar to how your next gate is highlighted). Whenever I come back to Tama, the station persists its coloration in my overview as red. It doesn't color all station, it doesnt color all stations of that type (although the ability to mass color stations for kickouts / good cynos / etc would be great), it only tags that station.

This would be super useful for being able to easily recognise your staging station, what citadels in system have clones in them, tagging which station enemies live in, gates you commonly take, the market hub station in Jita/Amarr/etc. Also you can say, tag any interdictor on your pvp overview so you notice when one pops up, or specific drones on your drone overview, etc.
