At the moment you can attach annotation by right click and select the attach type: transformer, link or feature type. It would make sense, if you could attach an annotation in the same way as you can connect transformers: drag and drop. Drag the annotation on top of a transformer, link or a feature type, and when dropped, the annotation is attached.

Many times I want to duplicate an annotation to another transformer, but the new annotation is unattached, and I can't attach the new annotation fast.

Also keen on this, particularly where there is a larger number of transformers and/or connections in the workspace. Reducing clicks would be good here.
