    If I could just find Tim Cole’s InDesign BackChannel (apparently archived on Adobe blogs but still can’t find it) I could put a link. He wrote this up a decade or so ago and I’ve relied on it ever since for marginal notes. And one can assign one’s own keyboard shortcut so the text frame appears in the right place with the right paragraph style setting. So if anyone can find the archived InDesign BackChannel, it would be well worth it.
