I'd like to know the total return on a stock when I hold it, but if the stock pays a dividend it seems like this is impossible.

For a single position, you can look at anyone who shows Total Returns but for multiple lots I don't know. Some people create custom spreadsheets and scrape end of day data from Yahoo finance but it's not perfect. If you google it, you'll likely find info.
Morningstar and even Yahoo will show Total Return data if you just bought once, you should be able to scale the chart to reflect the total return since your purchase date. My broker has a 5 year chart of this kind under Total Return but it's not literal numbers from any of my purchase/lots. Both of those have portfolio features where you can add your stock/lots but I don't know if that'd help.. I don't use either in that fashion.
