Highlights user flows

• Select a block of text on a page and highlight the content
  • Saves content in blocks in a given note
  • Creates highlight entity and associates the blocks with entity (vice versa)
• Show highlights of a URL in the sidebar
  • Also shown in the links view
  • Fetch all blocks from highlightid to render content correctly
• Deleting a highlight
  • Get all blocks (with noteids) that are associated with the highlight
  • Delete them (remove from content)
• Interactions in editor
  • Moving highlight to a different note
    • Changes will be made in the highlightBlockMap
  • Deleting the highlighted block [:?]
    • Previously this used to remove highlight as well as it was in the metadata
      • Should we remove highlight when no blocks remain of that highlightID?
