The comment editor wouldn't need two input boxes. Just a simple radio
button for before or after move.
These types of annotations are very common at the chessbase website,
probably because chessbase makes it easy within the software.
Here's a screenshot of one I just went to their website and found:

I'd be really surprised if you couldn't find a single instance of a line
being mid-sentence in any of your chess books, too. If you couldn't find
any instances of this, then I suspect you are just looking f r the wrong
thing. When writing a chess book, it is common to just list a line
mid-sentence like that, which you could do in Scid, also, but the line
wouldn't be navigable within the GUI--obviously not a problem in a book, so
you can just type it.
Here is what it looks like within chessbase's GUI:
