I’ve possibly seen this mentioned before but…

As a student using Scrivener for academic purposes- I would love to be able to ‘tag’ (that is - apply a keyword) to just a highlighted section of text. This is because in my literature review - I might have a long document and I want to apply keywords just to certain relevant sections of that document (and I don’t really want to split it into too many tiny bits so that i can keyword just bits).

This is for “gathering of ideas” - if I’ve got 50 authored papers - I want to search just for each bit I’ve tagged as, for example, “quote this paragraph”.

Thanks
