I know that this may be confusing, and promise to change this in 3.51.

First - have you noticed that version 3.5 support "live" X (date), Y (value)
coordinates display in the status bar.
It works all the time, regardless of mode or drawing tool used.
Second - do you know that you can move this "pick" vertical line
using cursor keys <- -> ? (Only make sure that the focus is set to the chart window
by clicking it once).
I think that you can use these two features (for the time being) as a "workaround".

This topic was already discussed some time ago. As a "workaround" you can
use Commentary window. For example: WriteVal( macd() ); will show exact
MACD value.
In the future two things are planned: a feature called "Chart Hints" which
will be essentially pre-written Commentaries for every built-in indicator in
AmiBroker that will show not only values but also some interpretation hints.
A second thing will be just displaying the values as price chart shows it.
(as you proposed). Unfortunatelly the second feature will need caching
precalculated indicators' values and this will require some important changes
in the drawing engine.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
