My colleague had a dream of cross-linking mails and notes (irrespective 
to Emacs) several years ago.

It seems, most of PDF viewers do not allow decorations added by users. 
Even built-in viewers in browsers displays document as privileged 
content inaccessible by extensions. A kind of workaround is loading of 
the same pdf.js to a regular page, but it is not really convenient. I am 
unsure concerning security issues when pdf.js is bundled into an add-on.

As to browsers, this thunderbird add-on is my experiment with UI in 
browser action popup. When working on LinkRemark I had no idea how to 
add such feature to it. Second level of context menu is inconvenient. 
Menu in popup may be better for adding more features, but I realized it 
quite late.

I have no idea where I should announce it since currently it is useful 
mostly with Org mode. Unsure if e.g. API of Joplin app will allow to get 
all links of certain kind in all notes.

Also I am afraid that I may broke something in Thunderbird internals. It 
has some code for custom columns but docs are rather scarce, so I am 
unsure if I implemented it properly. It is a reason to take a pause and 
to wait if my profile would turn into unusable state.
