A table popover will appear for annotation. This popover is resizable, and can be placed anywhere when dragging the header.
For annotating a cell
Select a cell from the table popover
Select the document text for this cell

Add rows if needed
When a user selects more rows than the table popover, Orby will confirm with the user before adding the additional rows from the selection (when there are at least 2 rows)
Select the column header
Click “Add location”
