Hi

I don't think the library supports this out of the box. I'd say you have
two options:

a) Download and modify the annotator source so that it prompts as required.
You can find details of how to develop on annotator here:
https://github.com/okfn/annotator/blob/master/HACKING.markdown

b) Try using some jQuery to switch off or remove the existing event
handling on the "x" button and then add your own. Your own event handling
could then either hook into the existing annotator code or make the ajax to
the server call itself.
