If the Browser Viewer, in the future, will support annotations, which can be exported to a list, something like
text 1=text I;
text 2=text II;
text 3=text III;
text n=text N;

I think we can use Regex Function and Saved Searches to do a batch replacement in Editor. I don't know anything about Python functions but I can make use of existing shared codes to convert the above list to a saved-searches file, which can be imported. It is now cumbersome, but at least it is faster than manually find and replace one by one.

Of course it would be best, I think, if the Browser Viewer and/or Viewer can export the list to .json format which can be directly imported to Editor for use (and then be removed)
