Matthew B: Addons extracts TODO and FIXME etc to a tab in the messages window, is that what you are thinking of? It doesn't highlight them. Matthew P: If its for your custom filetype you would need to find a lexer that highlighted @strings, not aware of one but maybe some language does. A plugin can't highlight, but it can apply indicators, maybe one of those is suitably visible for your purposes.
