Mark more than one node for "Highlight Expensive Icon"

Give an option or something that allows for marking nodes that are relatively close together in terms used to identify the most expensive node.

I would prefer top 5/10/etc or a percentage selection.


Use Case:

Run the visual explain in Run SQL Scripts. When it opens go to the menu View then choose Highlight Expensive Icon. This will turn the most expensive processing in the explained query tree to be highlighted PINK. I have seen other nodes be within milliseconds not highlighted only because they happen to be less than the most expensive.

When you choose to highlight advised indexes visual explain does highlight more than one (more than likely because there is another database that stores an absolute list of these items).
