I haven't found this tool, it would be good to have!
Currently Inventor will automatically apply a text mask to leader annotations and Balloons etc The only work around I can suggest for sketch text would be to turn off the default hatch, project the profile into a sketch, add your text, add a border around your text and then add a new hatch using the border as an island.
I would be pleased to hear about any alternatives!
