Label Tool with leader on both sides & Multiple arrows

I would like to see a label tool with a leader on both sides of the text.
Multiple arrows sprouting from one leader would also be great!

I think this would be a great idea as well as we had good control on the arrows. I am voting important.

Multiple leaders would be nice -- being able to control their location in relationship to the text is a must!

Ability to put leader on both sides is good. Alignment of label and setting leader positon relative to text when leader is on right side of label now requires a cumbersome and time consuming series of adjustments; fixing that would be nice > i voted essential.

This is one of those relatively little but fundamental things that any real CAD software should have these days. Examples of multiple leaders coming from one note can be found on any old hand drawing you look at. I signed in to post this myself just now, so I'm voting Essential.

James, I respect your position. But how hard is it to draw an extra line with an arrow? You would have to place those extra leaders anyway. I really don't think this is essential. Nice, but not more than that.

To have labels optionally show up in schedules and calculations is much more important, I think. But that's another thread.
