Hi Michael,

and thanks for this.  (Unfortunately, I could no longer follow the
discussion, because life & time, but I'd really like to catch up.)

This looks quite interesting.  Things I'd probably change would be:
highlighting the region instead of the character at point, jumping to
previous/next note, a list of notes, and an overlay showing the text of
the note even without hovering on it.  Of course, this would be a major
effort, but I like your PoC.

I'd really like to work on it, but realistically, I won't be able for at
least several months:-(...

Best,
