Arrow between lines in the align environment

I want to add some texts between lines in the align* environment like this:

enter image description here

I tried the following code:

begin{align*}

abc &= def + def + def + def tikzmark{a}\

    &= ghi + ghi tikzmark{b}\

    &= jkltikzmark{c}\

    &= mno + mnotikzmark{d}

end{align*}

begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, overlay]

draw[->] ([xshift=2mm] pic cs:a)

    to [out=0,in=0 ] 

     node[midway,anchor=west,xshift=3mm] {footnotesize defitnition}

    ([xshift=2mm] pic cs:b);

draw[->] ([xshift=2mm] pic cs:c)

    to [out=0,in=0 ] 

     node[midway,anchor=west,xshift=3mm] {footnotesize blablabla}

    ([xshift=2mm] pic cs:d);

end{tikzpicture}

but it only gives

enter image description here

There are two problems:

(i) I want to make every arrow aligned vertically

(ii) As I am going to use this arrow very frequently, I want to define it as a sort of newcommand thing.

What can I do?

This can be done using the witharrows package.

enter image description here

Here is the code:

documentclass{article}



usepackage{witharrows}



begin{document}



[

begin{WithArrows}

abc &= def+def+def+def Arrow[tikz={font={mdseries}}]{definition} \

 &= hgi+hgi\

 &= jklArrow[tikz={font={mdseries}}]{blablabla}\

 &=mno+mno

end{WithArrows}

]



end{document}

Note that you may have to compile twice when using witharrows.

Go to the package documentation at CTAN to see the many options for usage including fonts, arrowheads, curvature, color, etc.

Just for completeness: with tikzmark, which you are using, there is no problem in completing the code to give

documentclass{article}

usepackage{amsmath}

usepackage{tikz}

usetikzlibrary{tikzmark}

begin{document}

begin{align*}

abc &= def + def + def + def tikzmarknode{a}{}\

    &= ghi + ghi tikzmarknode{b}{}\

    &= jkltikzmarknode{c}{}\

    &= mno + mnotikzmarknode{d}{}

end{align*}

begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, overlay,font=footnotesize]

draw[-latex] ([xshift=2mm]a.east) coordinate (r)

    to [out=0,in=0,looseness=2] 

     node[midway,anchor=west,xshift=3mm] {definition}

    (b -| r);

draw[-latex] (c-|r)

    to [out=0,in=0,looseness=2] 

     node[midway,anchor=west,xshift=3mm] {blablabla}

    (d-|r);

end{tikzpicture}
