OK, I obviously wasn't clear enough, or am I missing something obvious???

Anyway, now I attached picture of Okular 24.08.1. There are two Highlight
annotations each on different page. One is called "select yellow" and the other
one is called "select green". There is no filter on sidebar, only a search
field in which I could search for text in annotation(if any) or for the type of
annotation, but not for the it's name e.g. "select green". 

Furthermore, lets say there is an empty rectangle annotation and another full
rectangle annotation. When searched for, those cannot be distinguished from one
another, nor from ellipse one, which doesn't bring Okular to it's full
potential. The way I see it IMHO, it would be very beneficial if there is a
drop-down checkbox filter which could mark only annotations in interest. The
filter would contain all annotations(by name) created in "Quick annotation
toolbar", as a superior method than a default "Annotation toolbar". 

The bug I've mentioned suggest visual presentation instead of plain same icon
for each annotation, which would be visually nicer, but not as functional.
