How can we add nonprintable tag markers/characters in illustrator for selected text range?

Question

HI All,

I am a extension developer for Adobe Photoshop and I just started looking into Illustrator.

In InDesign we have a mechanism of tagging text using tags panel and in that mechanism when we tagged a text range it encloses that text range into a pair of non printable characters of [], I am attaching a screen shot for more clarity

Non printable marker/characters appear in InDesign as follows

So is there any way to add such non printable markers/characters in Illustrator for selected text range?

I don't think so. That is unless you care to implement your own text object type from scratch. That is basically the point. You could probably work around this by adding non-printable layers, but even then it isn't bidirectionally interactive as in ID. These are simply limitations in AI.
