Lifton vs Liftoff

Description of feature

Hi Jason,
This workflow looks great and I hope to try it out soon.
If you haven't already considered it, you might want to take a look at incorporating this tool as an alternative/replacement for LiftOff.
I particularly like the feature it has to annotate the identity/variation type relative to the source annotation.
