I have a great curiosity ... How is the id of the selected text containing the comment stored in the database? For example I have a text that marks two words "the" "the". How does he know that a particular comment belongs to the first and not to the second "the"?

The default user interface extensions use XPath to identify the selection. The quoted text is only used for display, not for re-identification.
