Can you make highlights done on the mobile app go to a specific notebook?

This question comes from a discussion on hightlights and notes and notebooks, which can be found here.

With that being said, on the desktop app, you can make highlighting palettes that will place the "note" created when you highlight something into a specific notebook. Is there a way to assign highlights done on the mobile app to a specific notbeook?

Thank you!

    @Jonathan Bradley yes, you can. Sorry for the German UI, but it should be easy to follow anyway.

    On mobile, there is the hamburger menu:

    Open it and scroll down until the very bottom:

    Now you see "Setup" (German "Einstellungen"; third from bottom):

    Select this and scroll down to the very bottom again. For me, the fourth entry from bottom gives the ability to choose a Notebook for Highlighters used by the App (as long as you don't change it manually):

    Given the quite annoying procedure, I prefer to collect all Mobile Notes in the "No Notebook"-Notebook. So I don't have to change the Notebook when I choose to highlight within another resource on Mobile.
