Add a text highlight feature that stays with the text, i.e., like an underline.
We do trial/legal visuals that often have highlighted text. We currently either draw a box that is yellow and transparent or widen a line with a multiply transparency and if text is added or deleted, the highlight has to be manually redone.

Ireed, perhaps you will find this script useful: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWAtAoycvGg
It seems to do exactly what you need. The result won’t by dynamic, but it’s easy enough to reapply these when needed. -
Unfortunately Illustrator does not allow to apply a second fill for the character range inside of a text object. This’d allowed to apply a second yellow fill underneath letters and the apply Convert to Rectangle effect to get rectangles around glyphs. Still sketchy though, but is true to the appearance paradigm... but it does not work anyway :(
