How to call the ok button from a widget?

[Apeli]

Is there a way to add an annotation / click the "OK" button programmatically from inside a Widget?

Something like this?

I re-read the code and, no, unfortunately that's also not possible - at least not without loosing annotation bodies like in issue #65. Frankly, the current React implementation of the editor solves as many problems as it causes. I need to re-organize that bit somewhat to provide more possibilites for widget extensions.

However: I'm on the case. Expect updates for this and #65 soon!

For posterity (this will go into the docs later!): all widget callback functions now have an optional additional argument saveImmediately. Set this to true to save the annotation and close the editor immediately after applying the change:

args.onAppendBody(body, true);
args.onRemoveBody(body, true);
args.onUpdateBody(previousBody, updatedBody, true);
args.onUpsertBody(optPrevious, updatedBody, true);
args.onBatchModify(diffs, true);
