adding hidden text to the report

HI. I am used to using HIP software. WIth HIP, when I am writing a comment I can insert a double bracket at the start of a comment. What ever I write in the double bracket does not show up in the report. It is used as a note to help indicate what the comment says without having to read the entire comments.
As an example:
[[ATTIC RAIN]]Evidence of attic rain noted on insulation. Attic rain occurs when there is a build up of frost due to warm, moist air that has entered the attic from the house and accumulated on the sheathing. This usually takes extended periods of cold weather and poor ventilation. Once the air warms the frost melts quickly, raining down into the insulation and sometimes leaving staining and dripping from lights. Recommend air sealing all penetrations into the attic and improving ventilation in attic to help exhaust the warm humid air and help reduce the amount of frost build up on the sheathing. In this example the [[ATTIC RAIN]] will not show up in the report.
It is there to make it easier to find pre written comments.
Is this something you guys are working on? IT would be extremely helpful
Thank you

Text visible in comment on app that DOES NOT PRINT in report to help differentiate similar comments.

For some comments, there are variations of a similar comment eg estimated service life of roof.
[20-30 1/3] First third of expected service life (typically 20-30 years). Can look similar to First Third of... other roof type/ranges.
PalmTech used to allow text that would be visible but didn't print by enclosing in square brackets [text]. This allowed for easy labeling of comments without having to read the whole thing.
Would be a great option to have. Open to suggestions of better ways to construct comments so that this is not needed.
