Line charts can include annotations using the ReferenceLine and ReferenceArea components. These components are used within a chart component like so:

<LineChart data="{sales_data}" x="date" y="sales">
	<ReferenceLine data="{target_data}" y="target" label="name" />
	<ReferenceArea xMin="2020-03-14" xMax="2020-05-01" />
</LineChart>
