Hi @bendanye, thanks for submitting! I can confirm we don't display list of annotations anywhere for trace list results.
Are you still able to filter you traces by annotations by querying Trace List with annotation.{someKey} = {someValue}? If yes, that should still enable you to build dashboards you need.

We could add user annotations to our code completion in the code editor; however, right now we only have hard coded filters (from AWS docs). I will add this to our backlog but we currently don't have a timeline for it.

I would also like to see a list of annotations supported.

My use case is that I would like to join the list of X Ray traces with data from another datasource by the value of an annotation. I believe that can not by achieved unless the X Ray trace list query actually returns the annotations.
