The > main thing I did (recently) was to allow for using Org mode (or any > other) and allow for an annotation to be external (in a separate file). I've taken care of this now. If you set option `bookmark-automatically-show-annotations' to `edit' then an automatically shown annotation opens in edit mode. And you can switch between edit mode and read-only (show) mode using `C-x C-q'. --- Especially if you use annotations heavily, consider using external annotations. An external annotation is stored in a separate file, URL, or bookmark, not in your bookmarks file, i.e., not as part of the bookmark that it annotates. Accessing an external annotation (e.g. showing it) visits its destination. So for example, you can use bookmarks to one or more Org files to annotate one or more bookmarks. The annotation saved with the bookmark itself just specifies the destination.=20 See http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BookmarkPlus#BookmarkAnnotations.
