This is something the really bugs me about Inventor drawings. PTC Creo/Proe has the ability to be able to simply create a text item then right click it and choose either 'Relate to View' or 'Relate to Object'. This functionality is great because it allows you to create text in reference to views or balloons etc really quickly and easily. It has also been around for years!
I know in Inventor there are some work arounds for this. Like creating a leader note then deleting the leader or creating a sketch in reference to the view etc but for me these work arounds are not exactly good working solutions. Surely something like what Creo has should be able to be implemented??
