There is draw.arc in the plotrix package.

Well, draw.arc is specified by center, radius and start/finish angles, so it would be a lot of calculation to get these from the two points that must be joined on the circumference. I would probably translate this into the Postscript arct command, as you would probably have to use the Postscript or similar device to get a decent image. I programmed something similar, but a lot simpler, some years ago in Postscript and it worked out pretty well. Getting the correct angle for the text was tricky, you can see how some of the text on the example is upside down.
