Thanks to you and mkborregaard! I found this post which I think gives me 90% of what I need: [Makie based data labeling setup](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/makie-based-data-labeling-setup/20459)

I just need to figure out how to have a function wait for input and then return the array… I can get away with just clearing and repopulating a global if need be, but returning from a function would be nicer.
