This feature exists and was introduced by Rasmus **checks notes** about 25 years ago.
To use it, you'll want to hold down your shift key, then press the key just to the left of your enter key. This is called a "quote", and you can see it demonstrated here around the word quote. Hope that helps! Seriously though, I know you're looking to help your editor find something to syntax highlight, but this is an editor problem, not a PHP language problem. If your editor can detect SQL in heredoc, then it should be able to improve and find it in interpolated strings. Making the parser more complex for no benefit to the actual language (some detriment, I would argue) is not the fix here. -Sara P.S. - Yes, I'm assuming a US layout, you know where your quote key is.
