RE: Buttons inside an NSTextView / NSTextStorage?

Hello,

I am currently trying to implement inline comments in
an NSTextView in a similar way to how LyX does it. I
would like an NSButton to appear inline in the text
wherever a note occurs. If the user clicks on the
button, the note will appear next to it. If the user
clicks on the button again, the text will disappear. I
can get the text to appear and disappear using the
usual text replacement methods and some custom text
attributes, but my problem is, how do I get an
NSButton to appear inside the text and react to
clicks? I am pretty sure that I need to use
NSTextAttachment and NSTextAttachmentCell, but upon
searching the net, the archives, the docs and
CocoaDev, it seems that there is not much out there on
how I would go about this (there are a *lot* of
questions out there in the ether, just no real answers
as far as I can find; the only stuff out there on
NSTextAttachments relate to inserting images, which is
a lot easier and involves none of the tough
subclassing/protocol stuff...).

Has anybody had any experience of this or have any
advice?

Many thanks in advance,
KB
