UMG : what is "highlight color" in Rich Text Style Data Table?

Hi, I’m new at Unreal Engine so maybe the answer is obvious but I failed finding it.

I want one of my text to change color on hover, and I though that it was the purpose of the “Highlight color” parameter in the Style Data Table. Well nothing is happening when I’m changing its value.
I can change the aspect of the cursor while it’s hovering my Rich Text, I can also change the text font, size, default color, etc. But changing the “highlight color” has no visible effect.

Does anyone know what I’m missing here?
I know I can update the text style on hover with a tag, but I’d rather learn what is highlight color and how to use it!

For now, all I’ve found is

I’m struggling with this too. It doesn’t seem to do anything. For now I can only assume that either: (1) it’s provided as an option but it isn’t implemented yet, or (2) there must be some tag you can use in the text to mark it as highlighted, within a style tag, or (3) it’s actually for something completely different.

It seems strange to me that nobody else has posted about it. I’ll update if I find anything.
