Ah, well the documentation is at least confusing, since it says "If set to true, the chart will show annotations on top of selected values." which should be for the 'false' setting, and it doesn't say anything about displaying annotations in the table on the right. Furthermore, if you specify displayAnnotations: false, it never does display annotations at all.
But I can see that displaying annotations within the chart would be a reasonable alternative, rather than ignoring the annotations entirely. And showing the value in the annotation boxes would also be useful. Thanks for your suggestions.
