Ship Design - Is Modding a "Notes" field possible?

I lack technical knowledge, but if it saves as text it would seem possible to mod the string length (e.g., a really long name field but only the first X characters show in the displayed name? It would be handy to have own/others comments on each design in the file.

If I understand correctly, you are looking at having lines in the files that the game ignores?
You can use '
Have that at the beginning of a line you wish the game to skip (this is known as commenting out)
I don't think you can have the game ignore parts of a line though, only whole lines
