There is this:
http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/MathSource/7507/
which is for DateListPlot for could be modified for other plot types.
On one hand it is a lazy way of doing it because you create individual
plots and extract the info. On the other hand you can also combine bar
charts with your plots -- i..e like typical economic article plots
that combine a bar chart and line chart.
There is a tech conference coming up soon. Maybe people can ask for
this to be built in.
