manage comments library

Is it possible to manage the comments library so that I can sort them by assignment, by course, or by term?

Here are a couple of Ideas I found you could up Rate and comment on to get traction on it and hopefully get it implemented:

• Add a Way to Group Comments in the Comment Library
• Speedgrader Comment Library - Different libraries per assignment

Yep I see there a couple of these ideas floating around already and some identified in themes. our users got used to quickmarks in turnitin and liked some of that functionality and are now looking to google extensions to fill the gap in functionality (like annotate pro) 

 I think the comment library needs some expansion:

1. need to be able to group comments to manage the library
2. need to be able to share comment libraries or parts of with other teaching staff and TAs on the course
3. need to be able to add more than one comment from the library
4. need the ability for any feedback comments to be anonymous if required.

I would like to be able to access to my entire comprehensive comment library so that I can manage its content from the standpoint of the source. It is a great tool but so very limited and cumbersome.
