Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be nice to have a style (CSS) selector for workspaces which targets the same workspace the bar is currently on (not just currently focused)

Describe the solution you'd like
There would be a style selector like .workspaces .item.current-output which targets the workspace the bar is on. For example, if workspace 1 is open on output DP-1 and workspace 2 on DP-2, the selector would target workspace 1 on the bar on DP-1 and workspace 2 for the bar on DP-2.
This is different from .workspaces .item.focused!

Describe alternatives you've considered
Waybar's sway/workspaces module has this already built in under the selector #workspaces button.current_output
