There is a reference to Emacs in the OP, but not directly to what immediately sprung up in my mind[0]. In Emacs, it has a cursor (the block) and a "point" which is described as an imaginary spot at the left edge of the cursor - the point is what's important when one is indexing data (ie: setting a mark and selecting a bunch of text). The model fits for lots of things... Unfortunately for me, tmux highlighting does not follow this model.
