The UI widgets that support the highlighting all have a "-version" flag that you put the Maya version that the feature first shipped in (e.g. menuItem -version "2014"). Not all widgets are supported though and I'm not sure if there's a master list of them although you can just check the help doc's for any command you're interested in.
