Wayne, Just add the ".designator" string to whatever layer you want in the component footprint. If you need to move it, or change the font, etc, you will have to unlock primitves to do so. Also be aware that the ".designator" string is part of the component area so when you move / pick parts and when you move parts to the other side of the PCB the length of the string is taken into account to calculate the physical centre.

Excluding just writing text. It would be useful to still have the association between component and designator.
