You can use Ctrl + Shift + F7 for this in PhpStorm.

This will highlight all usages of selected text.

Using built-in functionality: select text and hit Ctrl + F that will bring "Find in page" functionality: it will highlight all matches of selected text in this document. But it's not always convenient as you have to hit extra keys and have "find in page" bar open...

You can install and use BrowseWordAtCaret plugin that will automatically highlight word under caret in whole document (regardless of it's nature -- variable or just plain text) + you can easily navigate between all matches.

P.S. You have mentioned that "I'm used to regularly change the name of an object property, an array key or a parameter name at multiple places in same document."

Consider using Refactor | Rename for variables/class members/etc -- it works across multiple files.
