That seems like an okay work-around.

But I may have 50 pages with 50 different notes to select to change.
It would be easier to be able to select one time and then just have a

If this doesn't exist, is there a place to submit feature requests? Or
should I discuss on the -devel list?

(Or where in the code should I begin looking?)
