Version 19.
This is schematic only, no PCB required, but a dummy PCB symbol can be used if required to get this to work:

A DIN-rail mount screw terminal block, which has 2 screw connections which are of course internally connected.

Problem is that I cant get this component to link net across the 2 terminals, I want a net Highlight to continue through the terminal.
The symbol looks like the on at the bottom here:

Is there a way ?

Nah, cant get this to work. Looks to me like a bug or malfunction in V19 (with all updates).
The simple goal is to get the 2-terminal sch. component to realize that the 2 terminals must allways be on the same net, so that if I highlight the net on one side of the terminal the net on the other side of it should also highlight.
In the cmp. editor the terminals looks to be connected (via the pcb pad).
Lacking upload/attachments here I've posted a YT video for demonstration. anyone see a solution ?

Create a pcb component that has 4 terminals.
Create a schematic component with 3 terminals.
Create a component using the above.

Under Pin Assignments Tab, assign,-

Component Pin Name Number 3,4

This connects schematic pin 3 to schematic pin 4. as per your drawing.
