Sometimes notes aren't necessarily tied to a specific word or character in a
document, and may be applicable to the document as a whole or to a specific
section within the document.

In these scenarios, editing the text where the note is attached can be tricky
since it is easy to accidentally delete the character the note is attached, or
if you want to rewrite the sentence and not use that word at all and you must
carefully try to reuse the specific character the note is attached to in the
rewrite or you must copy the contents of the note to the clipboard, delete the
note, edit the text as desired (and avoid use of the clipboard), create a new
note, and finally paste the clipboard's contents into the newly created note.

If an option were added to not automatically delete notes when their linked text
is deleted, this would prevent accidental deletions (as well as being an
acceptable alternate solution to the problem posed in issue #89358). A user
would still be able to explicitly delete notes by using the drop-down menu on
the note.

If the character a note is attached to is deleted (by any means, such as word
delete, selected text stream delete, selected stream replace, etc.), the note
could simply relocate to the next (to the right) available character, or the
preceding (to the left) available character if at the end of the document.

Personally, I would prefer this behavior no matter what, but for legacy reasons
and to allow the preferences of others, this functionality might be best
implemented as a preference that can be toggled on and off.
