            Bug ID: 165971
           Summary: Need ability to anchor a callout endpoint to a piece
                    of text or other content
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: Inherited From OOo
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

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.
