It's already available in 4.9 beta 1 (poppler 0.20 is required).

User annotations are still automatically saved in Okular's internal folders as
usual (*).
But now, if you press File -> Save As (it's availabe with PDF files only **),
annotations are embedded in the saved document too (ie you can see/edit them in
other readers). It's now also possible to edit existing embedded annotations.
For other formats (and PDF itself), there's still the option to export
annotatated documents in .okular format (File -> Export As -> Document Archive)
and share them with other Okular users.

* = Actually, automatic internal storage is disabled in some cases, and you
need to save to PDF every time you make a change. But there are warnings and a
"Save or discard changes?" prompt in place for that.
** = Poppler, the library we use to deal with PDF files, doesn't support
modifying encrypted PDF files yet. If you open such a file, the "Save As" menu
entry is grayed out and you are warned that you can only export as .okular
file.
