Yes. See KRDS - A parser for Kindle reader data store files.

The main problem with that approach is that the text being annotated is referenced using "position" numbers. It is not actually included in those files. The actual book files must be used to decode the position and find the referenced text.

The method for doing that varies with different books formats (MOBi, KF8, KFX, etc) and so implementing it would take some work. And a major roadblock to that approach is that most books purchased from Amazon are in KFX format with DRM that cannot be decoded using the DeDRM plugin.
