Description

Can I request the feature, where we can Highlight a text and be able to add notes to it as well ?
Currently there is option style(but that applies to all selected text), where as Highlight would apply to individual ones along with individual comments.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing style option and how it applies formatting to selected text. Clarify the intended behavior for multiple independent highlights and their individual notes before choosing an implementation path. Done means selected text can retain its own highlight and associated note without changing other selected text.
