Doing so requires work. An enhancement request to do this would come to me. This isn't something I am interested in doing. Others: have at it.

2.)
I have book annotations (highlights and notes) from different book formats (EPUB, Kindle, PDF) using different tools for exporting my notes. Some of these tools export highlights/notes as text, some as HTML and some as Markdown.
I would need a field where my annotations could be interpreted in all three different formats. I envisage a field with three tabs. It would be similar to the field for HTML but not with two tabs "Normal view", "HTML source", but with three tabs "Source view", "HTML" and "Markdown".
Would this be feasible?
Cheers,
Peter

No, not with a reasonable amount of effort. Parsing "random" text to extract the various formats is hard.
