Tracking text attribute ranges in NSTextStorage

Hello,

Is there a way to track attribute ranges on an
attributed string? I am thinking of NSTextStorage. I
have notes associated with ranges of text in a text
view, and currently I am tracking all of these ranges
manually through textShouldChange... and
textDidChange: methods.

The notes are objects in themselves that store the
range of text to which they are associated. If I
created a custom text attribute such as
MYNoteAttribute that stored a note object as its value
class, is there any way that this object can also
automatically know/find out the range of text with
which it is associated?

I hope that makes sense...

Many thanks in advance for any help,
Keith
