I've used a point layer with attributes I can combine by labeling rules, or
even with a text field that can contain the text for annotating.  The
labeling ability in QGIS is quite flexible.

In case it's not clear, then, you create a label by 1) placing a point and
2) entering the attribute(s) in the related field(s).  You can at some
point use Properties > Labels to show the labels (and you can turn off the
display of the points).
