Integration with OneNote 'Linked notes' feature?

Before Internet Explorer is completely retired, has there been any discussion about Edge not currently working with the "Linked Notes" feature of OneNote 2016 / 365 (on Windows)?

 

(from the above link):

Note: Another way to take linked notes is to click Dock to Desktop on the View tab in OneNote 2010. The current OneNote page will be docked to the side of the Windows desktop, where it will stay visible while you use other programs. Any notes that you take in the docked OneNote window will be linked to their context.

 

(This external site also contains a good basic introduction.)

 

I'm not sure if this requires engineering work from the Edge team, the OneNote team, or both. (Perhaps it might share underlying infrastructure with the 'Ink web page' feature in Edge.)

 

 - Jim

 

P.S. There are unresolved requests for this in other channels, so it's not just me looking for this to be restored.

    How do other folks take notes while reading / researching on the web?

     

    Do you...

    1. just manually copy a link into some notepad application
    2. use a browser extension
    3. use a different web browser that has built-in notetaking features
    4. use a database or wiki
    5. use a desktop app that integrates a browser view and note-taking, instead of a discrete browser such as Edge
    6. write down physical notes
    7. just rely on your memory
    8. do something else?
