| When a comment is created and associated with a specific paragraph in the wikitext of the individual page, a hook like <sb:xxxxx> is inserted in the text,<ref>This is the comment. But instead of appearing as a reference at the bottom of the page, <sb> and </sb> bracket the text to appear as a sidebar comment next to the paragraph in which it is contained. </ref> where xxxxxx points to the sidebar revision ID tag used to retrieve the sidebar text for rendering on the displayed page. (The xxxxxx may be replaced with a user provided text which is actually linked to the equivalent of the sidebar-rev_text_id).[[Image:Counterpoint|thumb|850px|Here is a counterargument to a statement made in the first paragraph with a [[hyperlink]] to a longer counterargument]]

There is also [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Design/Reference_Dialog a discussion of how Cite is rendered in visual editor] which may give some insight into managing sidebar comments within [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor VisualEditor].
