echarts Highlight edges through dispatchAction in force-layout graph

What problem does this feature solve?

In my project, I want to highlight one or some paths (including several edges). However we can only highlight nodes (dataIndex or data name) through dispatchAction. Could you please add some new feature to help to highlight the edges through dispatchAction?

What does the proposed API look like?

myChart.dispatchAction({
       type: 'highlight',       
       seriesIndex: 0, 
        seriesName: 'test', 
        edgeDataIndex: number | list
});

Hi, I have read the document as well as the source code. First, the node dataIndex and the edge dataIndex were counted separately. In the code view/Chart.js, I find

highlight: function (seriesModel, ecModel, api, payload) {
        toggleHighlight(seriesModel.getData(), payload, 'emphasis');
    }

Here getData() can be found in Model/Series.js, I think the possible reason that we can't highlight the edges through dispatchAction now is that getData function will get the node dataIndex but not the edge dataindex.

Could you please help me check it?
