POSITION), then the mouse-face property is set to highlight and, when the user clicks on the annotated text, then point is warped to the given position in the given file. Note that if two faces have the same attribute set, then the first one takes precedence. All characters whose text properties get set also have the annotation-annotated property set to t, and annotation-annotations is set to a list with all the properties that have been set; this ensures that the text properties can later be removed (if the annotation-* properties are not tampered with).
