Second thoughts Stacho,
Perhaps -offset exactly as you describe in real world, unscaled millimetres
would be useful, especially with the additional option of a leader line
pointing to the text insertion point.

Bruce

Well, as far as I understand - you would like to have another option in
addition
to -align. 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?
