MLEADER "text" does not have such an option, sorry.

If you want them to look alike, the obvious solution is to change the dimension style by reducing the offset(DIMGAP) to about 1/6 of the dimension text height.

Ask your office CAD Manager or "cad standards" keeper for the correct tool to generate that, MLEADER and MLEADERSTYLE command do not offer what you seek: I suspect QLEADER command with predefined custom settings

Here is a link from HELP to discuss with your CAD Manager/Standards keeper

For many years QLEADER was the bomb before MLEADER came out.

Frank Whaley at Autodesk posted the attached qlset.lsp so we could easily control all the settings.

QLead.lsp is a routine I added to draw a QLEADER with the settings I preferred you can use as an example for creating your own.
