i think the (or at least "one" ;) way to do this would be to work with knotes 
via dcop. it already has a pretty good dcop interface going that allows 
defining new notes, calling them up by ID, hiding them, etc. what would 
probably need to be added would be the ability to have collections of notes 
that were separate from the main knotes notes group.

this should be too, too hard since it stores them in a $APPDATA/notes/ subdir, 
so it isn't inconceivable to have a $APPDATA/konqueror/ subdir. this would 
have the benefit of allowing other apps to also introduce annotation.

it would require knotes to be around and running. this could be addressed in a 
few different ways.

i don't have the time, but am hapy to play mentor-by-email for you if you 
don't mind the occasional multiday lag in replies (though i'm often no more 
than a few hours away =)
