Merging scribbles with a format is very format specific, so if it works for one format, it can not easily be copied for another format. Pdf allows to add an extra 'segment' that contains extra data for a page, this can be used to 'merge' the annotations with the pdf (like done by xournal) as a sequence of line segments. For image one would need to create an extra image with the annotations and merge both. For every format a specific method needs to be created to view the annotations stand-alone.
Maybe iRex can also publish the code for the PC companion application, and add a framework for merging annotations so new mergers could easily be added by the user community.
