Is there a way to retrieve the highlighted row index on a perspective table? I see that you can get the selected row but not a way to retrieve what row is currently highlighted.

Aren't they one and the same?  
If you're wanting this from a script when clicking on a row, you can use the onRowClick action and get the `rowIndex` from the `event` object

I'm able to get the selected row without any issues. You can have a row selected as well as have another row highlighted. It's two separate functions.

Oh, you mean the row with the mouse hovered over it? This isn't possible out of the box. You might be able to cobble something with JavaScript injection, but that's out of my depths

Is this still not possible without js injection?
