.. [1] Feature highlight is not supported for WMS layer unless the server allows a query result format (INFO_FORMAT) of GML.
.. [2] Use two mapsources, one wms (for display), the other wfs for the query. Add a "query-as" attribute to the wms layer (:any:`query-as`).
.. [3] GeoMoose does not currently support this query operations for this mapsource type.
.. [4] The layer on the AGS server must be configured to have "Supported Operations: Query".
