Yes, the web page.

Correct, why can't we just keep the highlight there when the elemented is
selected (also highlighted) in Web Inspector?

If you click or navigate (add extra level before top of DOM and after) in
whitespace I guess that would mean there is no element selected, which would
mean to hide the blue overlay within the browser.
