How to export Graphics Annotations result to a text file?

cmd = """var text = DS.Script.createTextForFileGraphicsAnnotationsPane();
returnFromScript(text);"""
text = ExtAPI.Application.ScriptByName("jscript").ExecuteCommand(cmd)

file_handle = open(r"\Path\to\my\file.txt", "w")  # Change the file path
file_handle.write(text)
file_handle.close()

@LauriK please refer to the following post:

Is it possible to create annotations for stress plot from a file, for example based on coordinates?
Example of use case would be a global model where I have put a number of annotations in critical locations. After modifying the model in some detail and solving it, I lose all the annotations.

@LauriK, please refer to this post on how to create annotations using ACT in Mechanical.

Thanks. Script in the link seems to be creating an annotation my model ("100 MPa" at the top) but I would like to create stress probes (470 MPa below). Is this possible?
