Log file of manual annotation actions

Level 0

Generate a nicely-formatted text (JSON/YAML?) log file containing all the manual annotation actions. Each entry should include the relevant information (which interactive graph was used, region/coordinates selected, which annotation was applied, etc.)

Level 1

Provide a GUI where a user can annotate one project based on another project's log file. Add a "done" bit per entry, which a user could set and filter by. Allow "goto the graph of an entry" which would show the relevant graph on both projects, highlight the relevant region/coordinates in both the old and new project views (UMAP regions/coordinates can't be projected to the new project, but gene-gene region/coordinates can).

Good point made by Amos: Instead of a log file, implement a projection of per-metacell properties between related datasets. That is, use majority/fraction/etc. of the old dataset annotations to create an initial annotation of the new dataset. This is more automated and possibly more robust than a log file. Nice.
