Let’s say you have note text that’s open to change, and you still don’t want a headline.
I have thought of many ways to achieve this requirement, and one of them is similar to your solution: using explicit ID tags. My current approach is to use text properties and overlays. Every time I need to create a note, anki-helper will add the corresponding text properties and overlays to the original text (see the figure below). When I save the current file, anki-helper will also save the corresponding text properties. When I open this file again, anki-helper will add text properties and overlays to the string. This approach is still experimental, but I believe its advantage is that it does not modify the original text at all, while providing great flexibility.
In the following figure: “anki-card” at the end is an overlay indicating this paragraph is an anki note, and the whole paragraph has the three text properties, that lets me update/delete the note.
