The only way I know of to do something like that is to manually go through all the character files and add eg a blue lantern to the ones you want to highlight - think someone did what I just described with bounty characters but don't think anyone's done that with dialogue characters so you could be the one to do it!
It was made in FCS so you can open it there to see the changes, but it simply sets a flag "is sign? True" on any building object where "has inventory?" was set to "True" or the "functionality" field was filled with something other than chair/table/light. You can read the Steam discussion where Shidan gave me the idea here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/233860/discussions/0/4362373720226009059/
To make it functional Shidan thinks you'd need to edit how the game engine handles signs; eg make the overlay no longer disable selection by the player, and the only mod to really edit the game engine is ReKenshi - I posted a comment on his mod about this. If that could be done it'd be easy to break this up into modules eg Highlight: Containers and Highlight: Beds, etc so the player could customize it to their preference
It's GD beautiful... if only it didn't prevent you from then being able to select the objects :( Shidan thinks it could be possible if the author of ReKenshi could edit how the game engine handles things, so maybe someday... If that hurdle could be overcome, then it'd be easy to make this modular to only highlight the things each player wanted, heck I could even add doors to the list
