Commenting on multiple selections in Google Docs
How can one add one comment to two or more selections in Google Docs?
It is clearly technically possible, since when you copy a section with a comment, any pasted text will link to the same comment, forming non-continuous comment selections.
However, other than the above method, I don't know of any way to select more than one region for a comment.

The first step is knowing how to select non-adjacent text.
- Apply a unique style to the text in interest that appears nowhere else in the doc (e.g., bold, underline, and italicize it).
- Right-click on a single word in the text with the special style applied and under the Format options sub-menu, choose Select all matching text.
Now that you have these non-adjacent sections selected, you can add a comment (or any formatting for that matter).
