The full idea and demo:

Please help me test it vigorously: for intuitiveness, speed etc...let's see if Quip will also hold up.
Since this is still a Quip experiment, I can provide codes on demand. The general idea below (in my opinion) is fantastic, and can already help anyone.
<b class="marker">Paragraph 1</b> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
On Submit, surreptitiously insert a
HTML tag marker in each Quip comment, as in the above.
Use pure JavaScript (for speed sake) to locate the corresponding paragraph in your article; or as in this project, each Shakespearean line already has a span id. But in most use cases, you'll have to dynamically generate this.
I am expecting your awesome creative feedback,
Cheers
