well there's the coding solution. Start and end pointers for the highlights are stored by moon in a supplementary file, one per book. { 2 per book to be pedantic )
e.g. a have moon auto-backing up to dropbox so for a sample title, I have these two files already on ,my PC , synced into my local dropbox folder
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea - Jules Verne.epub.an
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea - Jules Verne.epub.po
the .an file probably that has the highlights data. the .po file is book marks, last page read... stuff, not relevent here.
I have the matching epub on the same PC in calibre
all I'd need to do is reverse engineer the .an format , then write an app - maybe just a plug-in for Sigil or Calibre could do it - that reads the highlights info from the file, applies it to the matching opened-for-editing epub using the PC to do it

dunno what happens if you ask moon+ author for his file formats documentation,
[edit - google tells me to look here - someone tried that in 2015 https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=260925


looks like you will have to put some effort in, whatever you go for

e.g. its possible that the colour of the highlights is stored as a preference within moon+ and applied dynamically when you tweak a rendering preference. thats a short test, using a book or two, but it ought to be done
