Making the annotations portable across the same site hosted in difference places is an interesting idea.
I use Hypothesis a lot to highlight e.g., the few important lines of codes, commonly used config values, etc buried in longer dev docs.
This mostly works pretty well. But I do lose my highlights when the URLs change e.g. version 1.0 to 1.1. Sometimes there is a "latest" docs site available to work around this issue but not always.
I imagine that a script could be made with the Hypothesis API to migrate annotations across pages and approximately re-anchor them as much as possible.
