Feature Suggestion: Merge annotations
I've been testing Zotero beta, and the PDF annotation features in particular. They're great, I love not having to open a seperate app. However, sometimes I want to highlight a sentence that extends across two pages, and that doesn't work cleanly if there are foot notes.
So if I could highlight each half of the sentence separately, then merge the two highlights, that would be great.

At the very least, if you exported to an external program, you'd necessarily end up with multiple annotations.
I would understand the possibility of someone wanting/needing composite highlighting. Perhaps there could be a setting where one chooses how this behavior should work?
As an example, the app Documents by Readdle has a working highlighter merging (but lots of other problems, naturally ;) ).
(Just to note, you can already merge ink annotations, though not highlight annotations, from the sidebar in the iOS app.)
Regarding merging/grouping highlights with text in-between, Zotero could automatically insert an ellipsis in (square) brackets.
