If you set a default value for the project variable, you will be able to highlight on screen objects without executing the tests.
I recommend adding a property to you device mapped object for the device ID, and setting it to a project variable.
You can then set the variable value at run time to run on the specific device that you would like to.
I have this kind of mapping in another project for language purpose. But the approach prevents us from highlighting from the name mapping windows because the variable only contains a value during the execution. Having this at the very first level means nothing will be available for live validation from the name mapping.
I do have a project suite variable. First thing I do is "Mobile.SetCurrent(Project.Variables.MyMobile)", but this does not seem to affect the usage of Aliases.Android.Process_myApp.abc.
