I annotate heavily, and especially for non fiction it would be very useful to be able to search annotations across books, as e.g. these could be on the same topic and I may not remember which point contained the passage I am after.

I know Calibre can import annotations from books (at least for some devices), but would it be too far fetched to build a plugin which merges annotations from different books in a single epub with hyperlinks to the pages in the original books where the annotations came from?

Since Calibre can create a catalogue that links back to books, I thought this may be technically possible, but as a non techie I don't know if I am talking pie in the sky...
