Hello Draw does have a good selection of arrows and are easy to use. Just remember to finish the arrow at the object you are pointing at and the arrow head will be pointing at the object.
Draw is also good for adding text labels to a figure, but be aware of font sizes so that the text does not appear too big on the figure, especially when you place it in a frame in Writer. I normally use 12 point, which comes out in Writer reasonably well.
