I see what you mean, but I believe something like
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+PLOT: ind:1 deps:("1:4:3:7:6") with:candlesticks
|------------+-----------+------+------+--------+------+------|
| # Variable |      mean |  min |   q1 | median |   q3 |  max |
|------------+-----------+------+------+--------+------+------|

|         15 | 2166.6666 | 2166 | 2166 |   2167 | 2167 | 2168 |
|        255 | 2167.1803 | 2166 | 2167 |   2167 | 2168 | 2169 |

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
is still pretty simple and yet so powerful.
