Almost all of the information you’d need is available in your combat log. Blizzard added the combat log intentionally so that damage meter addons didn’t have to clog up the network with communications. The only thing you might want to know that wouldn’t be available without communication would be the target of someone else’s in-progress spell cast, but you probably don’t really need that.

The Blizzard UI doesn’t show you cast bars for your group members, but you can get information about the spell casts of anyone in your party, their pets, their targets, their targets’ targets, and so forth. An addon could show you cast bars for all of those units, and an addon could definitely save all of that information for later reference. You don’t need to target them, or “mark” them somehow.
