Not sure.

However you can use hook to do that (think to add 
(goto-char (point-min)) in test-prop):

(add-hook 'after-save-hook 'test-prop)

Each time you modify buffer and you hit C-x C-s, your line will be
highlighted.

Do the same for find-file.

To do that in real time, i don't know, except with a timer that check
you file all the n seconds.
