Here's an ugly hack:
f[x_] := 1/x^2
p = Plot[f[x], {x, 0, 100}];
data = p[[Sequence @@ Position[p, Line[__]][[1]]]][[1]];
ListPlot[Tooltip[#, #] & /@ data, Joined -> True]
But there are probably nicer solutions (eg use a locator constrained
to the curve that follows the mouse that dynamically returns the
position...)
