How to activate word highlighting across cells in VScode notebooks?

I am using Jupyter (.ipynb) notebooks in Visual Studio Code 1.67.0. When I double click on a word/region this highlights all occurrences of that word/region only in the same cell. The setting for this in the settings.json file is

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {"editor.selectionHighlightBackground": "#xxxxxx"}

I want the highlighting to happen across all cells in the notebook. I have searched for this on SO and Google but have not been able to find any answers. Is it possible to achieve this in VScode?

Thanks.
