On Wikipedia (and MediaWiki in general), is it possible to highlight the text that is preceded by a "citation needed" tag, in order to clarify what the tag specifically refers to?

Use the {{Reference necessary}} template.

It adds a dotted gray underline beneath the text selection of your choice.

Plus it adds a "[citation needed]" inline template at the end.
