Parts of speech highlights & line drawing/markups

This may have been asked before but...

Is there any way to mark the English text with a "part of speech high light"? I know that you can hover over a given word and see the description at the bottom of the page.

Also, can you add a note or description to the part of speech high light? For example: this verb modifies this word, this verb is imperfect and the like?

And one more thing: Is there anyway to draw lines in any resource? For example: I'd like to draw a line from one thought or idea in one paragraph to the same thought or idea in another paragraph. Just marking up the text as I would in a paper copy.

mm.

    KSFJ will be by really soon.

    But, growing up, there was idle gossip that milkmen were actually secret genius’s.  Myself, I doubted, thinking, if there were no cows or goats, there were no genius’s?  It was only later, the principle of the Venn diagram was discovered, solving the mystery.

    Visually mapping ideas, logic flow, etc would be SOOO  good.

    What? You doubted the geniousness of said mm? How dare you. Don't you know that milk also comes from, camels, donkey, horse, reindeer and even yaks? 

    MM doesn't need cattle or goats to 'appear' geniouslike, but the illusion goes a long way. I think Mr Venn would be alarmed at all this. But it will all Pan out in the end.

    You need to take a more catholic view - don't you know that baby humpback whales need 150 gallons of milk a day? Surely, whales merit mention. [:D]

    Well I did take that into consideration, but after surveying our customers and asking them this question: "We are exploring an alternative source to cow's milk. Would you or would you not consider injesting whales milk?"

    The overall response sunk our hearts. 99.9% of our customers overwhelmingly said, 'no.' One person said, 'yes.' He was a high gambler from Vegas. Get it?
