This is enhanced counterpart of issue 25332 and issue 21253, which are for calc
only.

The rationale is exactly the same; but the required implementation is slightly
different, as explained below:

1. LET THE NOTE BE ANCHORED TO PAGE/PARAGRAPH/CHARACTER.

The marker for the note currently behaves as a character in text. (If you insert
the note, it gets attached to the line at the current cursor position. If you
edit that line, the market moves like a character. If you have a selected an
image in the document, you cannot insert a note.)

Instead, the marker should be able to behave like an anchored object (which can
also behave like a character if the author wants, but has three ADDITIONAL
options: anchor to page/paragraph/character). 

The user can use this feature to position the note in left margin, or over an
image. This will allow him to explain the entire paragraph or a specific parts
of an image. (Currently this is not possible).

2. LET THE NOTE BE ATTACHED TO ANY SHAPE/IMAGEMAP
Let the author attach the note to any shape/image (currently it can be
associated only to its own marker). 

The controls can be like the Imagemap Editor, where the author can select any
part of any image and add a note. Later, when the reader hovers his mouse over
different parts of the image, he can read different notes.

3. LET THE AUTHOR RESIZE/REPOSITION THE NOTE

Note that I am NOT talking of the window that is used by the author to ENTER the
note. I am talking of the rectangle that appears with the note when the reader
hovers his mouse on the target.

Currently the note cannot be resized/repositioned. This is not very annoying at
present because the notes are added to text only. But when the two suggestions
above are implemented, the notes can get in the way when we want to look at an
image. Therefore, it is good to have a control on how the notes will appear when
the reader hovers his mouse on the target.
