I believe that KOReader implements the interface used by Calibre Companion and can access calibre wirelessly.

It'll be hard justifying the work required, if it can't reach any appreciable technical depth (e.g. wireless transfers) and/or reach (e.g. easy install, supports many devices).
The issue for doing this generally is that each device or ereader app is different. How they store annotations is different and you would need to implement different code on each of the devices to extract them. Which is already a problem for the problem for the Annotations plugin. Code has to be written for each device/app and what can be done depends on what is stored and reachable when the device is connected.
