For example, if my color code for highlights assumes "blue" for definitions, I would want to see some reference to the "blue" color, in the exported, related, highlighted text/paragraph/sentence/word. Is this even possible? To provide an example, consider Kindle highlight export: they are grouped by color and the color is visible.
You can open a calibre_highlights file in any text editor, here's one I created and then opened in BowPad:
