Hi Stef,

Yes that's what I had in mind - use a similar method for embedding
the widget as Discus does.

As long as there is a unique identifier of a page, there won't be a problem
of attaching questions to them. We could also later think of other methods
based on hashes of content.

Best regards,
Evgeny.
