Automatic annotation text options on custom macros

This should be a simple addition:

 

In the same way that many default tools automatically generate annotations when they are dropped into the workflow, or their configurations are modified, there should be a way to add custom annotations for custom made macros. 

 

Thanks!

To clarify: a custom annotation that would appear automatically. I know you can go in once it's dropped into the workflow and add annotations.

This would be so helpful in maintaining clarity in workflows that leverage macros.
