Often times in presentations, and occasionally in other documents, one adds a "callout" shape, with a control point at the edge of a line or triangle pointing to, and being close(ish) to, some text or other piece of content. The problem is, that while the callout itself my be anchored in a way in which it would move reasonably as other parts of the document change - the control-point is only defined/anchored relative to the main body of the callout. Thus, if the item the callout was pointed to moves - the callout now points to an incorrect position, and must be manually edited. This is especially annoying - and frequent - in Impress presentations, where the text font size and text positions change automatically as one adds more lines to an object. It would be helpful if we could anchor control points to other pieces of content, especially text, outside of the object they are part of.
In other words you want to glue certain points similar to the gluepoint / connector pattern. Doubt this is going to fly. Regina, what do you think?
