Yes, more or less like that, except perhaps a bit trickier, in that the 'text' should detect how far offset it needs to be to just clear the meanderings of any nearby cave walls or other lines. It could be very problematic with convoluted drawings I concede.
I would say that at this stage this should be quite a low priority.

Let's call it -offset and it would mean, how far from the desired feature the label should be. And this offset would be scale independent. Is it really like that?
