Nope. Source files are plain text, so there’s no place to store such comments 
(except, literally, as source-code comments in the text, which contradicts what 
you want.)

(Sure, they could go into a side file or xattr metadata, but without any stable 
way to identify where in the file they go, their locations in the file would 
get messed up as soon as it were edited by a tool other than the one that 
manages the comments, or if you pulled Git/SVN changes to the file made by 
another user.)
