Description
It would be nice to have orthogonal and other types of connection style arrows when adding annotations. Matplotlib has something like:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 2])
# Annotate with a connection line
ax.annotate("Important Point", xy=(2, 5), xytext=(1.5, 5.5),
arrowprops=dict(arrowstyle="->", connectionstyle="arc3,rad=0.2"))
plt.show()
This would be useful for linking bars in timeline for example. Right now if you annotate the bar chart you can only add straight arrows.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the annotation arrow implementation and comparing its current straight-arrow behavior with Matplotlib's connectionstyle example. Done means annotations support orthogonal and other connection styles, including links between timeline bars, with coverage for the supported styles.
