I have a HTML-text field with some input. The focus of the input is lost since I searched in another component. From the search results I need to insert some text where the cursor/caret is located.

Since the focus is lost the cursor won't blink anymore. But than it gets hard to know the insert position for the user. Is there a chance to have a blinking caret/cursor without having the focus?

The solution has the problem that it won't blink on the position the caret is currently located. If there is another UX-pattern for letting the user know where the text will be inserted I would welcome this idea as well.

Remark: The framework I'm coding with is Angular. Therefore JS, Typescript or Angular code is possible.
