add annotation features like shapes & tags to Documentation tools

Would like to use arrows and other shapes for documentation. Moreover, having "anchors" (i.e., like in a wiki) would really facilitate moving about large workflows. I imagine the former is not hard to implement, though uncertain about the latter.

 

Check out the mock-up workflow for an admittedly bad example.

I agree that adding this capability will allow designers to provide more in depth documentation within their workflows.

Agreed! Desperately need this to point comments towards specific workflow areas that I'm creating documentation for.
