I also have often wanted to put an arrow pointing to something on a picture in photoshop but have never got around to finding out if it can be done.

After reading Joe's post I decided to try it.

I have the "free" version of photoshop CS2 ver 9

In the toolbox, the panel that is usually on the left when starting there is a section half way down with an arrow,T, Pen nib and a rectangle. Click on the rectangle and a list of options will appear. Click the line and the line will be highlighted on the tool bar instead of the rectangle. This will also bring up the shape toolbar at the top of the screen.

Pressing "u" will do the same thing, initiating the shape bar. Where you can select the line button

Click on the little arrow head just to the right of the highlighted line button to get the options. Here you can select an arrow head at either end with some other options (experiment). Enter the weight to get the thickness of the line and the color required.

Draw the line on your picture from the object you want to reference to where you want to place the caption (Text?)
