I am using comments like

I know that I have to play around with the language grammar to do so, but alas my more than limited knowledge of regular expressions has prevented me from succeeding. Maybe one of the language grammar/regex experts here has a quick tip for me?
It is not entirely trivial. For the symbol pop-up you need the grammar to identify the lines, you can either do the simple pattern that just matched: ‘^% ([A-Z]\w+.*)$’ -- i.e. all commented lines that start with an uppercase letter, and then scope the text so that it can be selected by the symbol pop-up preference -- another approach is using begin/end rules to only match lines surrounded by: ‘% =+’.
As for foldings, this is likely not possible because of the current rule about clearly defined start and end markers and only allowing matches to look at one line.
