Thank you, Markus. I think the feature would work much better if ... If the
formula contains a named expression, then ...
* If the named expression is a named range, then highlight the named range both
in the formula (color coding) and the document (boundary around cells).
* If the named expression is a named formula, then don't use highlighting.
(Note: In future version we might be more clever and show the formula via e.g.
a tool tip)

I think the hardest part is that the normal cell ranges that get highlighted
get a small "handle" in the lower right, so that the user can easily resize the
cell range. I assume that this is close to impossible for Named Ranges, so that
we need to omit that "handle" ... or think about a clever substitute.

However, although we might not offer everything, I think that the description
(if case) above might already help a lot for the default use case of naming
cell ranges. But, I might not be aware of any side issues like "Tools -
Detective". Furhtermore, I assumed that Calc can correctly differentate between
real cell references and named ranges (please see the last paragraph of comment
#0).

Hope this helps. Christoph
