I've been working on a very sophisticated system for doing things like
this. You can find it in CVS at http://www.nongnu.org/hdm/ under the
"scholium-system" subdirectory when the code is checked out. It might
need a little hacking to get it to do everything you want; its
currently pre-release, but just barely. (I'd be happy to accept
contributed code.)
If you want to start with something simpler, you could also take a
look at

I'm looking for a mode for annotating files without modifying the
file's contents, so the anotations are stored separately from the
actual files.
The desired features:
- I want to add textual annotations to a file while reading it. I'm
thinking of hitting a key which pops up a window showing the existing
annotation (if any) for the file. I can edit the annotation and when I
close the window it is saved automatically.
- When a global annotation mode is enabled the currently stored
annotations are always shown for the current buffer.
- I'd like a browser which shows the existing anotations with the
corresponding file names, so that I don't have to open the actual files
if I want to see their annotations. The annotations should be
searchable. Preferably they could also be edited from the annotation
browser.
I tried to search with Google for a similar thing, but didn't find
anything. Thought I asked here first, before starting hacking my own
implementation.
