            Bug ID: 521229
           Summary: Support callouts for free text PDF annotations
    Classification: Applications
           Product: okular
      Version First 26.04.1
       Reported In:
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: PDF backend
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: psychonaut at nothingisreal.com
  Target Milestone: ---

§12.5.6.6 of the PDF specification <https://www.adobe.com/go/pdfreference>
documents a kind of free text annotation where a jointed arrow extends from the
rectangle containing the annotation text.  The arrow is intended to point to
the specific place on the page that the annotation text refers/applies to. 
(See Figure 59 of the PDF specification for an example labelled with the arrow
coordinates.)  A cursory search of the Poppler source code suggests that
Poppler already supports callouts.

In Okular's UI, I believe that free text annotations are referred to as "Inline
Notes".  It would be great if Okular could add support for adding, editing, and
removing the callout arrows for this annotation type.
