Referencing and querying specific annotations in callouts

[JacobH140]

Is there a way to have annotations in callouts come accompanied with reference tags? Something like the image below:

More generally, it would be very cool to be able to query the annotations corresponding to a given document. For example, I often use orange highlights to annotate questions and confusions I have about the PDF content, and being able to somehow easily pull up all such orange annotations for a given PDF in dataview-esque way would be quite nice. If others know of a nice way to go about this, I would love to hear!

Are you aware that you can customize the formats in which you copy links and that you can run any JavaScript in them?

For example, the default "Quote in callout" format could be modified to

> [!{{calloutType}}|{{color}}] {{linkWithDisplay}}
> > {{text}}
> 
> 
^{{crypto.randomUUID()}}

which uses crypto.randomUUID() function to generate a random unique ID.
It will output something like:

If you find the ID too long, you can use the slice method, like so

> [!{{calloutType}}|{{color}}] {{linkWithDisplay}}
> > {{text}}
> 
> 
^{{crypto.randomUUID().slice(6)}}

which will generate a ID of length 6.

Dataview-like query is not available out-of-box.
PDF++ does have an internal function to query all links to a specific PDF document, and it could be used in dataviewjs codeblocks. However, the function is not yet intended to be used by users and the API can change any time.
