I can't think of a good way to do that without doing a lot of either c++ or python filter programming to extend paraview.
Right now annotation is limited to the 2d and 3d text sources and the ability to turn on labeling of values that are inside the active selection. I think we would need to extend ParaView with an annotation filter that would show in text format values from the data set it inputs and with an easy way to assign arbitrary attribute values into a data set. The first would require some sort of warning, or memory limit, because it would quickly overwhelm both cpu time and screen space when applied to any data set with more than a few MB of data values. This is the reasoning behind the current annotation limitations. The second can be done via the python filter (or for floating point numbers the calculator filter) now. However a GUI, perhaps through the spreadsheet view, would be much more user friendly. For large data sets, there will have to be some way of not having to specify every value. Please submit a feature request via the bug tracker. I think this would be a really useful addition.
