Hi devs, as a result of the need to allow annotated text to be edited wrt to an annotation (for example, replace the annotated text with the annotation comment), the need of identifying the annotation target more precise emerged, so solution 3 was elaborated, based on the idea that an annotation could be directed towards the field of an object in a document, with a method to identify it in the rendered HTML. The details are here http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/AnnotationFeature#HSolution3addannotationsontargetsspecifiedasreferencestodocobjectfield please bear with their length and lack of precision, is only an idea, haven't prototyped yet.
