No - and here's why.

If you elect not to show POI's - you really want to discover stuff for your self - but It would be very nice to be able to add a marker so that you can find the POI again later.

Maybe you like overly long text explaining why a POI has interest to you - the longer text could act as in game notes.

Maybe as a Trade skiller you want to mark areas you consider good for harvesting - maybe assigning the POI's to a pattern on the map.

How to implement?
1/ Make local POI's a different colour or shape.
2/ Add a small utility (similiar to the webpage) to enter local POIs
3/ Allow people to send you their local POI files for inclusion in the online file (if they then want to share)
Being you can't save any info or UI settings for that matter from the UI, ever POI you added would be gone when you camped. Thats prob the main reason its not in this mod. Unless you do it out of game its a mute point unless SOE lets the UI start saveing info..
