Labeled arrows are indeed extensively used in chemistry.

I will add here some signs often used in *chemistry*:

 1. Equilibrium:
    (aka double half arrows for chemical equilibrium)

    simple: dual arrowheads: A <----> B

    complete:
                k1
          _____________\
    Start -------------  Product
          \     k2

    where k1, k2 are the equilibrium constants (are omitted sometimes)

 2. Reaction progression:
    one of the reaction less likely / unlikely

                k1
          _____________\
    Start      --------  Product
               \   k2

    especially k2 is omitted

 See e.g. on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_equilibrium
 (although the notations there are very basic, yet more than OOo can do)

 For another image with equilibrium constants, see:
 http://goldbook.iupac.org/SVG/C01480-1.png and
 http://goldbook.iupac.org/SVG/F02463.png

 This one uses --> arrows, but half arrows (---`) are also common
 and sometimes preferred.

 3. Broken arrows:
    (I did NOT find them)

    ---X--->, ---//--->, ---/---> and the double arrow versions


Well, TEX has a wide range of useful additions that are currently lacking in 
OOo.

Just to extend the arrows-issue in chemistry, I append some TEX-elements
   Table 132: chemarrow Extensible Accents
      \autoleftarrow{abc}{def}
      \autorightarrow{abc}{def}
      \autoleftrightharpoons{abc}{def}
      \autorightleftharpoons{abc}{def}
   These symbols are all “reverse accents” in that the two arguments serve,
   respectively, as a superscript and a subscript to the arrows.
   In addition to the symbols shown above, chemarrow also provides
      \larrowfill,
      \rarrowfill,
      \leftrightharpoonsfill, and
      \rightleftharpoonsfill macros.

For an extended list of TEX-symbols, see
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf.

I already added these comments to issue 80616, although that issue should
probably handle different things.
