3D Annotations and/or Assembly Notes?

I am not sure of the exact terminology - but does anyone have a solution (either in or out of Onshape) for doing notes on 3D Assemblies? As in I want to send someone a quick PDF that has notes without having to do a full layout drawing. I've attached an example of what I mean. I know in a drawing I can do it but only seem to be able to do true Isometric? Where as I am looking at something a bit more freeform.
This was done in a trial of PDF Annotator software which is okay - and might be my end solution unless someone has a better idea?

Dare I say SW Composer is relatively really nice, but was never a cost effective solution; which was too bad...So development has been very limited/dead.
SW 2019 "might" contain the more freeform markups that you're after to possbily check out - who knows.
Then there's Bluebeam Revu which is far more sophisticated than "just need a 2D/3D markup tool for my CAD data" and caters more to Autodesk.

It would be great if Onshape developed this need with there cloud infrastructure or 3rd party add-on to be sure. One can hope!
Very nice 2D markup though!
