Description
As discussed with @melonora, currently we don't save napari annotations to disk when Shift+E is pressed, we should re-enabled it (this was automatically done before the incremental IO refactoring, but now the data is only updated in-memory).
Also, a related issues is:
- the tooltips, in particular the one appearing with Shift+E, is not shown when napari is run in interactive mode. This issue is already open here: https://github.com/napari/napari/issues/6455. A user found this confusing as he was not clear if the data was saved or not.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Shift+E annotation-saving path and reviewing the incremental IO refactoring, then check how interactive mode handles the related tooltip issue in napari issue 6455. Done means annotations are persisted to disk when Shift+E is pressed; tooltip behavior is a separate linked issue.
