Feature Request: add Highlighted folder in Comments Dashboard

[StefMattana]

A user passed this feature request / feedback on the JP forum here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-an-extra-button-on-the-comments-panel-or-turning-all-comments-visible/

They'd like to have a brand new folder on the Comments section that gather together all the Highlighted comments:

They reckon it'd be useful for us (and maybe for other users too):

As an administrator feature, it would satisfy more than one purpose, e.g. manually filter unreplied comments or isolate specific ones for whatever reason.

They also proposed a workaround if the addition won't be possible, but I don't know if also the workaround is doable at all.

Thank you for starting an issue about it. 👍

Just adding that the svg icon that I used I got from here. And just replaced there:

Hey @StefMattana

I think this Feature Request is more fits in Calypso rather then Jetpack repo.

Ah, good point! I thought it could have been applied also in the wp-admin but was clearly wrong!

@kichlucas I opened a new issue here in the Calypso repo, feel free to follow it and add any other info as well :)

Closing this for now!
