Thank you for considering my report. I have been working on a Firefox plugin to make a prototype of my idea. Unfortunately, javascript is not my area of expertise. I am looking to use the javascript library that exists here: http://www.draw2d.org/ which is a LGPL library.
In this example, one can attach any object to a panel, including other panels. So, if there were panels that represent bug reports, and other panels that represent notes, one could attach bug reports to a note, and/or attach notes to a bug report.
There are still two major hurdles for completing my prototype: XML Serialization/Deserialization, and text editing. The library comes with some XML functions, but is poorly documented and the documented example doesn't even use it. The only text editing ability I can find in this library is through a separate dialogue window, which is less than ideal.
I will post more when I have made further progress.

This example page should illustrate one of the main features that I wish to achieve: http:// www.draw2d. org/draw2d/ files/demo/ guipainter/ index.html
