The way this is implemented is that you will need to add a callback to the returned plot and from the callback add as many overlays as you want, where you want them (not necessarily at the X location). The advantage of this method is that you can display any value you want on the overlay, not just simply the value of the plotted function at the current location. The disadvantage is that the feature is not 'free", like the zoom-unzoom functionality: the user has to add the callback and provide the overlays.
In my case, most of the interesting use cases do not involve simply showing the value of a function at the current location. I put some examples here: https://alex-hhh.github.io/2018/02/interactive-overlays-with-the-racket-plot-package.html I have not looked at candlestick plots, however, I imagine that you can work out what the current value is from the X position and show the open/low/high/close values either as a single badge or as markers on the relevant positions of the candlestick.
