Is there some way to get more detailed information about skim notes, i.e.,
other than the code framework?

I have tried the skimnotes command line tool (e.g., the 'get' and 'format'
commands), but it seems to only output the basic information about notes,
such as the note type, page number, and note text.

Perhaps(?) there's another mode for the skimnotes tool, but I couldn't find
it from reading the documentation.

I'd like to get more complete data on each note, such as a timestamp, the
coordinates of the boxes that are highlighted in the PDF file, the
highlight color, and the text contained in each box.

I assume(?) this data is in the notes file, but the skimnotes app ignores
it for now.

I'm wondering about this because if possible I'd like to make a script that
gathers my notes for a PDF file, and tries to fix words that were broken by
hyphenation in the original PDF. If I can get the highlight boxes in the
notes file, and the text in each box, then it should be possible to check
for a hyphen character at the end of each line, and then stitch together
the words that were split across lines.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

M.
