In principle yes, but I'm not familiar at all with the code, nor any KDE
projects code. I have some minimal experience with Qt which I used maybe 10
years ago in some project.

And I don't really have much (or any) free time.

I was thinking more about my other tooltip suggestions as I assumed that those
changes would probably be much simpler to implement, while they would be
equally helpful for my use case.

Currently I'm thinking anyway about yet another solution: Somehow extract the
pop-up notes programmatically with some Python script, then use SyncTeX to find
the corresponding place in the Latex code, and try to apply the patches
directly, and maybe report me those where it can not be applied.

The changes by the proofreading service are actually very consistent in style.
Maybe they used some tool for that. They used strikethrough marks with note to
indicate some replacement, otherwise just some addition.
