What is against calling prop_add() for each one?
prop_add_list() is intended to add the same type of property and a list
of positions. I don't expect you want to add the same text in a list of
positions? Unless it's some kind of error or marker.

This quickly gets complicated, since depending on what you are adding
some fields will be the same for all properties and some will be
different. I doubt the complexity is justified by calling one function
for multiple text properties instead of calling prop_add() for each one.
Is there a virtual text property with several fields that are the same
(padding, align, etc.) and only differ in position and text?
