Sorry, I don't have an answer other than to say when I do it I just zoom in on a point until the axis are really narrow and then middle click button (at least on linux) puts a point there with the numbers. Not exactly what you are looking for, but its what I do.

P.S. Not too sure I'd want gnuplot messing with my data files to be honest.
