It depends on what sort of plot you use.

Currently, with scatter plot (xy), it's not possible, but planned.

Using Line/Area plots, you can define arbitrary tick labels, but ticks
are always equidistant (See axis settings and Series->Names entry in the
data tab).

Which symbols ? The only symbols we have currently are plot markers, and
there's a circular one.

Perhaps what you want is simple objects you can place over plots. That's
not implemented yet. As a workaround, you can already draw shapes on the
plot area using an xy plot. But that's not convenient.
