Hi,
Unfortunately, there is no support in DocBook XSL for callouts using mediaobjectco. I
guess no one could figure out how to do it in XSL-FO.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Do callouts on images work?
I've got a bunch of screenshots containing hand-drawn arrows and annotations that I
think would be better done as callouts, but I don't seem to be able to get callouts
rendering properly to PDF.
Do they actually work?
If they do, does anyone have a working example they could share? Here's my
non-working XML:
<mediaobjectco>
<imageobjectco>
<areaspec units="calspair">
<area coords="5000,5000 5100,5100" id="p1" linkends="c1"/>
</areaspec>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="/path/to/screenshot.png" scale="50"/>
</imageobject>
<calloutlist>
<callout arearefs="p1">
<para>Here I am in the middle.</para>
</callout>
</calloutlist>
</imageobjectco>
</mediaobjectco>
[I'm not sure what purpose the linkends="c1" serves, if any.]
With the default docbook.xsl stylesheet and XEP this renders as a completely plain
screenshot without any overlaid numbers. The callout underneath is rendered OK as a
white 1 in a black circle.
