Okular can create and edit annotations. Not sure what you mean with bookmarks,
do you mean outline items in the Table Of Contents?

Probably we don't do that, not sure how hard it'd be to make it work that way

We don't do that, what's the use case for a standalone user? Why would someone
need to create a note with the exact contents of the text he is highlighting?

By object number you mean the PDF object ref?

All is possible, you just need time, which unfortunately we don't have much, so
if you guys have anyone that can help that'd be awesome
