Support for something like this would be great. I've dealt with it by 
creating my drawings from a template with the drawing footer on a separate 
layer. The footer is a bunch of lines grouped together, and it has several 
"text fields". It's not true text fields of course, it's just text that I 
manually edit. An improvement would be a special kind of object with text 
attributes instead.
