Advanced Copy-Paste from web pages

My main goal is to be able to annotate html pages (ideally “readified”), while leaving the original largely alone, except highlighting. I love the idea of a markdown web-clipper - that never occurred to me, and I might be able to get this to work. But when I try it on a large blog post, the editing is quite slow and clunky (in desktop 0.3.6).

I think what I’d love is to have the equivalent of pdf annotations logseq now has, but for html: be able to have one pane open for the html, as an asset that I can highlight, and in the other pane add notes and refer to specific parts of the html. But I could be talked out of this, if others have better ideas for this kind of workflow.

I would also like to be able to take notes on and highlight epub books the same way - I’ve voted for that feature separately. I think that would be the trifecta of research annotations.
