You could use the =changebar= style in latex and then enclose the text
you want highlighted in a double environment combining changebar and quote:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\begin{quote}
  \begin{changebar}
    ... text goes here ...
  \end{changebar}
\end{quote}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Not tested.  You may want =quotation= instead of =quote=.

Not quite what you want but similar in concept... ;-)
