Have you considered using bookmarks? Bookmarks can have annotations, which can be context-specific (i.e., located) notes.
If you use [Bookmark+](https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BookmarkPlus) then:
1. A bookmark [annotation](https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BookmarkPlus#BookmarkAnnotations) is in Org mode by default, and it can be an indirection-- it can take you to another Org mode file (e.g. for extensive notes).
2. You can label/categorize your bookmarks (IOW your notes) with [arbitrary tags](https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BookmarkPlus#BookmarkTags). You can use tags to organize your notes (e.g. can be hierarchical, overlapping, independent...) and help you find them.
3. You can optionally [highlight bookmarked locations](https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BookmarkPlus#HighlightingBookmarkLocations), so that when you're in some document with some locations that have been bookmarked you can see where they are and pop up their annotations there.
