I currently have a couple of construction circles on a sketch and I would like to make the intersection of two contruction circles a datum point. Is this possible? It seems to not recognize this point.

After I exited the sketch, I was able to create a datum axis from the portion of the curve I made in the sketch from the center point shown.

You are still on WF5, right?

In Creo, you can add a datum point in a sketch. If it remains a sketch, that point will be available as a reference feature for later use. If the sketch is a section, and extruded, the point will become an axis. Similarly, if you add a datum style centerline in the sketch, you also get a datum axis as a reference.

I find this to be a very useful feature... Except I would like the point to remain a point on extrusions. Simple enough to add one, but its current behavior or somewhat useless.
