+1 to Hypothesis and similar tools kind of already doing what you're
thinking of. I would use the energy to contribute to it:
https://github.com/hypothesis/client, and it's possible that you might find
ways to optimize it for wikis via a gadget.
They've probably solved the "parent paragraph updating" problem you
mentioned here. So at the very least you can find inspiration there. But
I imagine the issue of storage and all that is tricky. There was a W3C
working group that the Hypothesis people were part of, I remember we
half-heartedly wanted to join but never did.

<https://web.hypothes.is/about/>, I think. There even was an attempt to
build something Wikimedia-specific on top of it (see the task Kosta
linked), but it can be used directly as well.
