Upgrade StorageStandalone handwriting notes feature (tablet)
When I read an academic journal article, I also like to take handwritten notes on a tablet about the article content. These handwritten notes are helpful when I want to go back to look at an article several months later, and remember what the important parts are.
Zotero offers the ability to take _text_ notes and to associate the notes with a specific journal article. However, I do not think that it is possible to make handwriting/drawing notes with the Apple pencil in the current Zotero notes feature. Often I am drawing diagrams or graphs that aren’t a good fit for text, and I like using handwriting and not have it convert to text. Right now I have a separate database of handwritten notes in OneNote for each publication, but I would like to be able to keep these notes in Zotero so that the article and the notes about the article are connected and in the same application.
Maybe the handwriting notes would create large file sizes that would quickly add up and count against the storage quota? Or maybe there is some way to connect Zotero files to some other application.

@dstillman Could you give me some suggestions about the roadmap to implement this? I can help to implement it but I don't have much familiarity with the zotero codebase.
