TeXworks, my workflow is (pdf|Xe|lua)LaTeX and uses the TeXworks previewer,
not Yap.

I do see in the Yap programme that there is under

    Menu> View /options / Inverse DVI search

and you can add a New programme. However you might like to have  a look at
the TeXworks archive or previous messages first maybe this one would help?
I do not know ... http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/texworks/2011q2/004099.html

Or may be someone else may be able to jump in perhaps?

Yes have  a look at the TeXworks Manual under—

Apendix A  - Customizing TeXworks :  A.1 Syntax highlighting

There it will tell you how to edit your syntax-patterns.txt file.

You may be able to use the N option in the spelling position to achieve
what you want.

I have one with Y for spell checking to be on, under my Latex Section,
you'll need to nominate another colour, I do not know whether there is such
a thing as 'default'/'current' colour setting.

[LaTeX]

gray Y \\footnote\{.+\}


Regular expressions are not my strength, but may be you could have...

black N \\((label)|(ref))\{.+\}
