I think what you are looking for is something similar to what certain
extensions for firefox or chrome do, like highlighter. It's useful, but
I'd say only for static pages.

As long as the webpage doesn't (unfortunately) use javascript.

It wouldn't be too hard (I think) to implement something for shr or eww,
so that overlays would be applied to highlight the text in eww-mode, and
the position info would be saved somewhere, so that eww would retrieve
it on page reload. As Ihor has recommended to you, org-remark could have
a (possible) use there. I would investigate on that side; also with
org-remark you could associate notes in org-mode.

It seems safer to me to save the content of a page in one way or
another, because that page may one day cease to be online. org-web-tools
is a great tool. The only drawback I find is that pandoc conversions
from html to org are not always very clean (depends on the page you want
to save). To the above could be added the possibility of highlighting
the content of the page and saving everything locally, to later read the
page offline in eww-mode.
