Daniel,
I have been playing recently with the Google Annotation Chart. I have > 100 
points and associated annotations, so at any time, most of the annotations 
are 'off screen' in the annotation list.  It seems clear to my users (and 
to me!) that clicking on a particular data point in the line chart will 
scroll that point's annotation into view, if it is presently out of sight. 
However this behaviour does not happen by default, and I cannot find a way 
to make it happen.
I'm reviving this old topic because it looks as if Jahn encountered the 
same problem back in February, and I am interested to learn whether this 
behaviour was ever implemented, or if you still have plans to implement it. 
I believe it would enhance an already great chart.
Thanks and Regards,
Richard.
