If you call this crazy: yes, I did so. This method worked well before (with
~/.kde/share/config/okularpartrc) and I only noticed that this is a snap
install after it did not work. First I tried to copy the whole directory
~/.kde/share/config/ to my place (followed by chowning it) and after that did
not work, I changed one pen and looked for files that had changed in the last
minutes. Then I found out that this is a snap install and that the proper place
must have been ~/snap/okular/63/.config/okularrc. Since I had copied the whole
surrounding, I did so with the whole directory ~/snap/okular/63/.config/.

The presence of ~/.kde/share/config/okularpartrc despite the snap installation
now was a leftover from before, when okular was running under Xubuntu 16.03.
/home lives on a separate partition, so upgrading the operating system
maintained all my files and the settings of all programs - if they were not
destroyed in the new installation of my application programs. Most of them kept
 existing settings untouched.

By the way: copying the whole set of annotation pen definitions worked well, it
is just the strange thing with the file>open file command which is missing its
dialogue.
