I'd strongly second Van's approach, of using key numbers in the illustration itself and mapping those to an in-the-text caption or table. It's especially useful if you have anyone editing the document who isn't graphics-savvy (translators, for instance), and it also saves you from having to burden the graphic with too much text. And you can hook in index markers, cross-refs, etc. If I were you, I'd make it SOP to keep the callouts on a separate layer in Illustrator or whatever, so you can shut them off or rearrange them easily.
