AFAIK the calibre ebook editor doesn't support user developed plugins, so I assume you're trying to use the Library Manager plugin framework.

To have the features you want (footnotes, tooltips, margin notes, sidebars etc) I would use a fixed-layout/desktop-publishing editor (e.g. Adobe InDesign, Quark) or a word-processor (Word, LO Writer, WordPerfect) as the starting point and publish the output as a PDF.
