Help creating wall tag with grip

I am trying to create a wall tag to do the following also see attached PDF:

 

Tag designation (text and number) generated from wall style (wallstyles:type) and be annotative.

Tag has 2 lines forming an L that I would like to preset (12" by the text and 18" long) but have the capablitiy to be stretched/stretchable later on.

Tag has grip hand similar to doors which enables it to be attached to walls but doesn't change placement when wall is extended/trimmed/ moved or wall tag generates information from the wall it touches but if the wall moves the tag would stay but show and error or "X".

 

It didn't sound so difficult in my head but writing it down makes it seem very difficult.  Anyways is this possible and does anyone have a source to some step by step directions for creating a tag like this?

You could have the L shape but only the leader will be stretchable. Tags are mvblocks not dynamic blocks.  Personally I would stick with the OOTB wall tag.  You would need to create more than one tag to account for different wall angles.

 

Keeping up with trimmed walls: The tag will stay attached to the wall as long as it exists.  It may move but won't disappear unless the wall does.  If you erase the wall the tag disappears but the associated leader may not.

 

Determining which wall is tagged:  Turn on diagnostic display.
