A way to highlight text (like with a marker) in a book?

Hi I searched in the forum but I couldn't find any answer, if I am not mistaken the main dev said it was on the to-do list, but this was many years ago. As 2018 is there a way (or is it planned in the near future) a way to highlight text from an epub/pdf and add an annotation next to it? Like you would do with a real book? I think this feature would be so useful and I am surprised it hasn't attracted enough demand to be developed.
