Certainly, but panels will "only" be seen upon selection in
the measurements plugin. I am thinking of "super-relevant"
measurements which the user may want to keep in view "all the
time", such as BP / weight in a GP office.

Sure, the technical means of letting the user select which
tests to highlight somewhere would be to make her create a
panel of them tests and then configure that panel to be the
one to use for extra attention. This is how it's done for
medication-related lab monitoring (short of us creating a
means to attach tests-to-monitor to substances, and even then
would it still be useful to add arbitrary tests as desired).
