Adding inline notes (they're actually called "FreeText Annotations") is 
implemented in poppler core, and publicly exposed in Qt5 frontend. Sadly 
it's currently not available in the glib frontend, so pdf-tools can't 
use it their preferred way.

The guys at pdf-tools got it right already (cite from issue 149):
