Question Import comments from file to record

Hi,
There is a way to replace the pdf, cbr... file of a book entry in calibre.
I plan to add annotation on files (pdf as a start) using my reader and then reimport the modified file.
I can achieve this with "add books /add files to selected book records".
Fowolling this, I will create a text file with comments for a particular record.
Is there a way to import text from a file in the comments section of an record ?
This would really be useful.
Thank you for your advices.

Assuming you mean import in bulk (i.e. many books) try the Import List plugin ==>> Index of plugins
