As a name for footnotes, endnotes, and marginalia (sidenotes)
that's free from presentational baggage, "annotation" (or "anno")
might be a good choice. I guess plain "note" might also, except
that a note can also be a type of admonition (along with a
warning, etc.), displayed in the main text flow.

And along with being presented as marginalia, footnotes, and
endnotes, each annotation might also be displayed in a separate
pop-up window (not numbered and collected as footnotes/endnotes).
