Is there a way to highlight specific entries in a bibliography-publist with an asterisk based a keyword?

Question

I'd like to know if one can highlight certain bibliography entries with an asterisk to indicate the presence of some keyword (for example, invited versus uninvited entries in a CV). I'm preparing an academic CV for promotion and I'd like a coherent unified style in the list of various activities to indicate invited versus uninvited work.

I see some solutions, here, but they won't work for me as I'm using Zotero to create my .bib file, so I can't go through and add an asterisk field to a bunch of entries. Thank you.,

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=publist]{biblatex}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@book{key,
  author = {Author, A.},
  year = {2001},
  title = {Title},
  publisher = {Publisher},
  keyword={peerreviewed}
}
@misc{key2,
  author = {Author, B.},
  year = {2002},
  title = {Title2},
  keywords={guestlecture, invited}
}
@misc{key3,
  author = {Author, C.},
  year = {2003},
  title = {Title3},
  keywords={guestlecture}
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography[title={Books}, type={book}]
\printbibliography[title={Guest Lectures}, type={misc}, keyword={guestlecture}, notkeyword={invited}]
\printbibliography[title={Guest Lectures}, type={misc}, keyword={guestlecture}, keyword={invited}]
\end{document}

Assuming you want the modification to go on the numeric label of your bibliography, you can do so by modifying the printing of labelnumber to depend on whether the invited keyword is present.

For MWE:

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@book{key,
  author = {Author, A.},
  year = {2001},
  title = {Title},
  publisher = {Publisher},
  keyword={peerreviewed}
}
@misc{key2,
  author = {Author, B.},
  year = {2002},
  title = {Title2},
  keywords={guestlecture, invited}
}
@misc{key3,
  author = {Author, C.},
  year = {2003},
  title = {Title3},
  keywords={guestlecture}
}
\end{filecontents}
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=publist]{biblatex}
% Relevant line below
\DeclareFieldFormat{labelnumber}{\ifkeyword{invited}{*#1}{#1}}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography[title={Books}, type={book}]
\printbibliography[title={Guest Lectures}, type={misc}, keyword={guestlecture}, notkeyword={invited}]
\printbibliography[title={Guest Lectures}, type={misc}, keyword={guestlecture}, keyword={invited}]
\end{document}

The accepted answer of your linked question can also be modified to use the invited keyword instead. MWE (with the same \jobname.bib as above, so to save space I omit it):

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=publist]{biblatex}
\renewbibmacro{begentry}{%
  \ifkeyword{invited}
    {*\addspace}
    {}%
}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography[title={Books}, type={book}]
\printbibliography[title={Guest Lectures}, type={misc}, keyword={guestlecture}, notkeyword={invited}]
\printbibliography[title={Guest Lectures}, type={misc}, keyword={guestlecture}, keyword={invited}]
\end{document}

This places the asterisk as the first character of the entry.

Is there a way to highlight specific entries in a bibliography-publist with an asterisk based a keyword?
