[Request] Highlight text without attaching a comment

[simon1561]

Thanks for this plugin — the inline storage format is exactly what I was
looking for. I use Obsidian for investment research notes, and being able to
read the comments back out of the raw Markdown with other tooling is the
reason I picked it over the alternatives.

One gap for my workflow: while reading a long document I mark passages that
matter without having anything to say about them yet. Right now a highlight
only exists as a side effect of a comment, so marking a passage means creating
an empty or placeholder comment thread, which then shows up as a card in the
margin and in "All discussions".

Is a comment-free highlight something you've considered, or is it deliberately
out of scope for the plugin?

I don't want to push a particular design on you, but one shape that seems
consistent with the existing format would be a body block with no thread lines
— the anchor markers stay as they are, so nothing changes for tools reading the
file, and such a comment could render as a plain highlight with no card. Happy
to be told a different approach fits better, or that this belongs in a separate
highlighting plugin.

Either way, thanks for the clear format reference and the validation script —
they made it easy to evaluate the plugin before installing it.

This was put into the latest release, you just need to enable this toggle in the plugin's settings! Thanks!
