Here are two ways to use a 3D graphic as a backdrop in a 2D graphic
which can then be used to add annotations:
1) Rasterize the 3D graphic and include the Raster in a 2D graphic
Graphics[Rasterize[
Plot3D[Sin[x y], {x, 0, 3}, {y, 0, 3}]
]]
2) Inset the 3D graphic in a 2D graphic
Graphics[Inset[
Plot3D[Sin[x y], {x, 0, 3}, {y, 0, 3}],
Automatic, Automatic, Scaled[{1, 1}]], PlotRange -> 1]
