What I was saying was that I was surprised that there weren’t already features in DT3 that allowed you to link multiple notes back to a specific PDF visually or in groups, and that I was also surprised that this isn’t a common request, as annotating PDFs is a common workflow issue.
Following some of the helpful links below, I found much the same result as 5 years ago when I checked into this, as did many others - and found my own post from then!
So basically what I was asking is have any of these features been implemented. It sounds like most people are using a mix of tags/links to do this on their own, without the app supporting a visual linked view for this. May be beyond the scope of the app, but still what I wish for when I am using it.
Please let me know other solutions as well, will try to implement the manual version in the meantime.
Thanks so much for this. Yeah, I’m actually looking for some kind of built-in feature in DEVONthink to do this because…it would enable me to look an an annotated PDF document so that I could reference the comments and mark ups in its corresponding Annotated File (in DTP). Make sense? It seems like a relatively simple feature to create (since other apps have them), and it would sure make it much, much easier to work within DTP to accomplish annotation tasks.
Anyway…I’d welcome any other suggestions. And I hope DTP developers note this suggestion! Thanks.

I understand that one needs to use Skim to view highlights and comments in PDF documents (though I hope DTP develops built-in features that enable us to do this). But is there any way to more easily select and copy the comments that are embedded in PDF documents? Thanks!

Not yet possible but planned for upcoming releases.
