P: Add text notes to photos, stacks, folders, directories, collections

[SammCox]

Let me add text notes to photo, stacks of photos, and directories of photos so that I can record shot and processing details. I'd like to be able to print the notes along with an image thumbnail.

In Lightroom Classic,
It would be useful to add Add an "Annotation tool", a visual tool to speed up the workflow

without having to go through Photoshop.

As a working pro photographer I often want to be able to add a note to an image.  Using simething (even the BigNote plugin) in the right hand panel is still a bit 'hidden', so I thibk it would be really practicale to have either a really obvious sticky post-note facility which you can attach to the image itself - or a note facility on the Toolbar

The feature:
1. Adding a general note to a catalog
2. Adding a text note - per image

In some more details:
When editing large projects it is very often not a single session process. When getting back to it there is always the need to 'remember' what has been done so far and where are we at. 
i.e. In my work flow I do a couple of passes over a session. the 1st one to filter bad images, the 2nd to adjust colors, exposure and more.
If I'm waiting for something and getting back to it a week later I cannot tell where I am so the ability to add a note to a picture ("last one i fixed") or a general one to the catalog ("Waiting for client remarks") will do miracles to the work process.

Aditions:
Taking it one step further like searching the notes or creating TAGs can be great.

Implementation:
- To keep it clean, adding a small  icon to the image's name - both on the filmstrip and in image display  area - for pictures with text\tag,  will be enough. Hovering oner that icon should bring up a popup withe the text\tags of that picture.
- Entering picture text can be done when right clicking the picture - from the popup menu that appears and it should be as a flowting box (so that is keeps the image visable at some level)
- The general catalog text link may be placed under the Catalog section of the panels. So that clicking it will open the note in the 'working' area instead of a picture.
It should also popup when openning a catalog if there is text in that catalog's note field (with the option to disable it from prefrences) .

Feel free to contact me if there are any clerifications needed or if I can assist in any way.

A nice feature add for organization would be a text description field on a Collection, Smart and Standard, for including other details about that Collection. The Collection Name needs to stay brief. The description should also support external links to files, online blogs, and web sites.
