I find myself repeatedly typing a short text phrase at various places on the chart and then drawing a rectangle around it to highlight it.
Can i build/set this to a button on my control bar as a "drawing"?

Another solution might be to add labels to Markers.

It is not supported to be able to do both the Text and the Rectangle in a single button, but you can create Control Bar buttons to add Text and Drawings separately and then move them as needed. Refer to:
Chart Drawing Tools: Custom Text Drawing Control Bar Buttons

And:
Chart Drawing Tools: Creating Control Bar Buttons which Select Drawing Tool and Drawing Tool Configuration in One Step

Thanks for the response.

Is there any chance we might see the ability to add labels to Markers in the future?

Editing my response:

Using the "reverse color" option actually gives me what i need, but it might still be cool to have the ability to label Markers.
