Go to Window -> Pallete menu in iReport designer. These "Callouts" works like sticky notes in the iReport interface and in the generated XML it looks like this:
<property name="ireport.callouts" value="##Mon Aug 12 18:03:15 MSK 2013\ncallouts.2.text=This is Detail band\ncallouts.1.text=This is Title Band\ncallouts.2.bounds=353,118,150,75\ncallouts.1.bounds=34,17,239,83"/>
