There is virtual-comment, that seems to come close to requirement b)
but it uses overlays.
The interesting part is that the package discusses other solutions, but alas,
I think all
use overlays
The problem with all these solutions is that they are not very stable
and soon or later the associated file .notes file gets corrupted.
