Highlight selected net in Layout XL (and schematic)

Hi,

Some details on my request/question as below;
Virtuoso: ICADV12.3-64b.500.23
Task: Layout creation from schematic using Layout XL

Problem:
I am looking for a better/more efficient way to highlight nets while doing routing and LVS fixing.
While I have used net Marking (Connectivity -> Nets -> Mark), the marking does not update once I added/removed a wire to the net, unless Unmarking and Marking again.
Same goes for the Net Tracer (Connectivity -> Net Tracer @ Window -> Toolbar -> Net Tracer), which does not update the trace upon adding/removing wire to the net.
Both (Mark and Net Tracer) also does not highlight the corresponding net in Schematic, and does not show flightlines for open/incomplete net.

Using the Annotation Browser (Window -> Assistant -> Annotation Browser) is somewhat useful, though there are cases where the flightlines are not actually where the nets are.
I then need to use Net Tracer to see clearly the exact wire routing.

Currently I am using XL Probe (Connectivity -> XL Probe). It is good that it is probing the net in both Layout and Schematic. Plus that the probe updates every time I adds/removes wire to the net, and flightlines are there for open/incomplete net.
However, with hundreds of nets to look at, with the non-expandable XL Probe window, scrolling through the list becomes quite repetitive.
I am fully aware of the Net Name Filtering Option (though I have not used it yet).

I would like to have a similar probing functions as XL Probe.
However, instead of selecting the net(s) to be probed from the XL Probe window, I want to select the net(s) first, and then pressing a newly assigned bindkey (I will take care of that part) to probe the net.

Alternatively, if the XL Probe window can be turned into something like the Annotation Browser (attached to the Layout XL, instead of opening and closing it every time I want to probe), that would be good as well.
Side question, can the probe highlight color be increased from 10? Is it customizable?

Appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks,
Shin
