GumNotes claims to be able to do that (though it was a while ago I tried it, so not sure how well that really works):

I seem to recall that at one point Google had a feature that would allow people to attach notes and comments to browsed URLs ... and when you loaded the page, a sidebar would also load that would contain your notes, and those of other users too. I can’t remember what they called it, but it didn’t catch on and it was dropped.

Thanks, I’m trying it right now. So far, it appears to work correctly. With any of these programs the question is whether it’s going to work with thousands of web pages spread of years of usage. I’m going to keep using this one for a while and also try Ghostnotes if they issue the Windows version.

Many post-it note software can do this. Here is a good free one: http://www.zhornsoftware.co.uk/stickies/ that has that capability.

There is another Mac app in the App Store similar to GhostNotes—AntNotes. It supports note export (to rich text or plain—so a note could be written with Markdown), which doesn’t seem possible in GhostNote. Doesn’t support attaching notes to files, but will attach notes to apps. And—it’s $2 cheaper! WooHoo!
