Unfortunately not. You could create a coloured group or a sequence 
feature on the sequence, so the corresponding structural residues are 
coloured in the same way. Otherwise, only sequence colours and single 
residue mouseover highlight positions are sent to the viewer. We 
realised this was a limitation but have not had the resources to add in 
any other kind of interaction.

If you are using the application with Jmol then you could also open the 
Jmol console window and type commands to explicitly display the residue 
sidechains or use the Jmol menu to set their display style (after adding 
each residue to the Jmol selection individually).
