I see now. This is really weird. I always assumed, as seems natural to me, that new notes are always added on top, but apparently PDFKit adds them just in somewhere in some arbitrary place in the hierarchy, which seems non-sensible to me. So when it's in the middle, there is a chance we find the link before the note. But it's basically unpredictable, because it's arbitrary. I really think Apple makes a mistake, but unfortunately it's a mistake over which they give us absolutely no control. I will change the selection code to take care of this. As for selecting in the notes pane, you can edit, but you have to move to the PDF view first. You can do this using (shift) tab. And have you tried option-tab?
