is usefull a (automatic) text background color feature for lines (and shapes).
As now a named arrow appear Strikethrough, see attached "arrowNamedDraw".
Visio has this feature, see attached "arrowNamedVisio".

You can manually edit the text to move it above or below the line. But the example you showed from Visio does indeed look nice. Making this a lowest priority enhancement. 

Thanks for reporting.
Comment 3 Valerio Messina 2012-07-09 21:56:35 UTC
how do you move the text of a named arrow?
Comment 4 Joel Madero 2012-07-09 22:22:41 UTC
Highlight text, right click, click on "Text...", add a number to "Spacing to borders". For instance to move it up 2 inches add a 2" bottom border and it'll push it up. An example that I did awhile back:

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 45028 ***
Comment 8 Valerio Messina 2016-05-04 09:52:18 UTC
bug 45028 seems related to connectors and not lines and shapes like this one.
So please mark this as duplicate but be sure to add a note on that bug to solve the trouble with simple lines too ot this RFE will be lost.
