On/In the margin of this document there are sections pointing to the reverse
reverse: the opposite side or face to the observer; a left-hand page of an open book, or the back of a loose document. Sin. reverse side; back etc. (Oxford Language Dictionary)
element: a part or aspect of something abstract, especially one that is essential or characteristic. Similar to: component
constituent, part, section, portion, piece, segment. (O.L.D.) Please note: I would say that "element" also applies to something concrete, which is the case here.
As far as preposition usage, apparently, there is a difference between the UK and the US. Two discussion threads on WordReference reach different conclusions:
on the margin: https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/in-the-margin-of-the...
in the margin: https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/in-on-at-the-margin....
I ran a couple of Google searches and they retrieved a number of results that are statistically similar:
in the margin of the page: 600K
https://www.google.com/search?q="in the margin of the page"
on the margin of the page: 571K
https://www.google.com/search?q="on the margin of the page"
Apparently:
"on the margin" in the US.
"in the margin" in the UK.
Since the context does not specify the language variant, I included both prepositions in my answer. Pick one!
