It's best try to encode this using machine readable tags as much as possible assuming the information is factual and verifiable.
For anything you can't there exists the description tag: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:description "The description=* tag can be used to provide additional information about the related element to the end map user, possibly using a pop-up or similar." You can add this to any object in OSM including a node on a way.
