For example, re-using the idea of inline special blocks we discussed in https://list.orgmode.org/875xwqj4tl.fsf@localhost/ Something like @note{short inline comment}{<text the comment talks about>} @note{[cn:X: another inline comment]}{<text the comment talks about>} Text that has nothing to do with comment. @note{[cn:X]}{another part of text related to the same comment X} @note{[cn:Y]}{<text commented with a long remote comment>} ... ... ... [cn:Y] Long comment, maybe even a discussion - (by John) Involving different parties - (by Mark) with replies, etc. The idea is to use, say [cn:X] (comment note), instead of [fn:X]. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
