Highlight constraints based on reference source

Working with constraints in sketches is cumbersome because it's impossible to tell the difference between two constraints of the same type on a point. Example: drawing a rectangle and making a corner coincident with a point on another sketch or part - if we want to move the rectangle, we need to mouse over the corner and delete the correct coincident restraint, but at least 50% of the time we end up deleting the one that held the rectangle together, not the one that constrained the rectangle to the exterior reference. Entity highlighting on constraint mouseover is only half-useful as it's almost always difficult to tell when lines or points coincide.
We need a way to categorize the constraints. Can we have them show in different colors, with a border, or different shapes between the current-sketch constraints and the external-reference constraints? Or maybe change the color of entity highlighting for internal vs external references?
