Hello. I am working on creating an academic research/paper writing workflow. I
find it very convenient to annotate pdf files and via the xml file found in the
docdata directory, retrieve the annotations via another application. To speed
the process though, it would be very nice to be able to select some text, copy
it and then be able to paste directly into a note for future retrieval using
other applications. A deluxe feature would be able to open a pdf file using
Okular at the point where the note was placed on initial reading via a command
line option. The reason I am focusing on the note annotation instead of just a
highlighted one is that in the xml file, the highlight only reports the
position of the highlight, not the text that was highlighted. Having
highlighted text available in the xml file would also solve this problem and
would eliminate the need in my use case, but it would still be a useful option
as it allows commentary on the copied text. Being able to open a pdf directly
to a highlighted passage would also be excellent.
