Hello Craig,

I think one possible way to do this is just to tweak your code a
little bit by moving the Dynamic out.

Dynamic@Plot[{Annotation[Sin[x], "Sine", "Mouse"],
   Annotation[Cos[x], "Cosine", "Mouse"]}, {x, 0, 2 \[Pi]},
  PlotStyle -> Thick, PlotLabel -> MouseAnnotation[]]

And this works.

Hope this helps

Sincerely,
Pratik Desai
