smartnotes – Visually anchored margin notes with connector lines and dynamic placement

This package provides margin notes that automatically choose the left or right margin based on the note position, so connector lines remain as short and direct as possible. Its main focus is clear visual anchoring: notes can point precisely to the relevant place in a sentence while avoiding unnecessarily long cross-page margin lines. The package also supports forced side placement, basic overlap avoidance, selectable box shapes, and an easy global disable option for drafting.
