This sounds useful in large schematic pages, with several references
to the same net with labels.

What do you think?
You also need to clarify the behavior of this tool.  Are you looking for
something like the trace highlight tool in PCBNew where when you click on a
trace it highlights the trace and all traces connected to it?  Or are you
looking for a dialog to enter the net name and highlight and show the net?
Once you have this behavior defined you can file a bug report and set it's
status to wishlist.

What about always (optionally) highlighting all wires of a net if the mouse cursor touches a label/wire of the net? Maybe after some delay. In that case you don't need a specific tool, you just get it directly.
