CyberLink should put Tony (or anybody else behind PDtoots) on their payroll…

One of the expert users of PD, posted this set images, there are arrows and circles in the ZIP.

They are transparent png files, you can use in a higher number track to overlay your main video/images.

On this note, perhaps a future version of PD could include some rudimentary drawing features, such as simple shapes (square, circle, polygon, arrows, etc). This feature could be used very effectively in conjunction with the masking tools, too! (Imagine using the aforementioned polygon tool to draw a shape around your actor and make it solid green so you can chromakey it out). The possibilities are endless!

And to add to that, if the points on the polygonal shape were keyframable...then your masking capabilities would be greatly increased.
