It will be easy when (and if) Ross makes a package

Some less nice solutions are possible through comments mechanism
(Scott Pakin cooltooltips) or attachments (Heiko Oberdiek attachfile
etc) but none of this works outside of AR.
I have some suspicions about javascript, more precisely about Adobe
itself: javascript animations (based on Alexander Grahn animate
package) perform in AR8 much worse than in 7.09 and Adobe seem to be
very reluctant to address this
