PDF supports Appearance Streams for annotations, so we could have latex render
the formula into a PDF file and create the AP entry in the annotation dict from
the pdf. We could also include some special entry in the annotation dict to
indicate that this is in fact a rendered LaTeX formula and what the LaTeX code
was so that we could edit it afterwards...

I had some luck with this approach, however the saving was done by podofo not
poppler.

Same way we could --- I suppose at least --- add a custom field to the
annotation xml entry to indicate that it is a formula so that we don't need
to do automatic guessing (maybe even create a new annotation type). If that
is a no-go, I also like Albert's approach in comment #6.
