Subject: [PATCH] Closes #8226: Add bulk-load of selected drawings' annotations

SHIFT+CTRL+CLICK on Activate Drawing now imports the
annotations of all selected drawings without switching
the active view or camera. The drawing camera is imported
when missing so annotations are collected into the correct
drawing collection. Loading is idempotent.
