Adding text boxes to bar charts (also in the case of multiple columns)

A (horizontal) bar chart with multiple columns describing, let's say, average scores of variables (value between 0-5) could get extra context if the percentile of this average (or other measure) can be placed next to it, preferably in a little text box, with only the value. Currently I need two charts, placed next to each other: one with average scores and one with percentiles. This not only requires extra space, but in the case of sorting the bar charts on value, the other bar chart will not necessarily be sorted accordingly.

    Thank you Egbert. I came to think of a possibly related Idea: https://ideas.tibco.com/ideas/SPF-I-38  Do you think that would be a solution for your needs? In that case I could merge your Idea with this one.

    Hello Egbert, many thanks for contributing your idea. Would you be able to attach some sort of image, like a mocked up screenshot or similar to illustrate this in even more detail?
