This would be a nice feature, but a little tricky to do generally
since the text objects are already so complicated ... I mean feature
rich.

One could simply do a draw time offset and convert points->pixels (eg
as in Annotation) but to get everything to play consistently with
annotations, arrows, fancy boxes, etc, would require some care and
thought.
