How can you highlight a symbolic link in Finder of El Capitan?

Answer 1

Set your highlight on the original, the symlink will follow - even across different drives on the same machine, even across different machines, so long as they are able to see each other.

Note: Sometimes the changes are not visible immediately to the Finder. Any change to the folder is usually enough to 'remind' it.
