Suggestions for improving comments

Description

Not sure if this is a Quarto 2 feature, or something about the Quarto Hub only, so I hope to get the category right.

The "comment" feature inserts an inline comment in the .qmd file with the text of the comment.
I think it would be nice if comments were somehow identified by author and date.

Also, I know this may imply a redesign, but if comments were kind of another layer on top of the .qmd, instead of adding content to it, I think it could improve the experience quite a lot IMHO.

You can see the timing and who made the comment in the replay at the bottom though I understand this does not entirely address your concern. We really want to keep the content in the single file as adding layers in other files is really expensive from a complexity/single source of truth perspective. I think there may be some UI affordances that can help address at least some of your concerns.

One really interesting thing about QH is that with "instant automerging" happening you can actually create completely custom UIs hitting the same document working simultaneously. For instance, I hope to do a "comment only" UI that could be provided that only shows the preview mode and which the UX is streamlined exclusively for comments.

Thanks for the feedback and keep it com
