So I had an attempt to control/read the assembly workplane position through the drawing. Turns out this is not supported.
If you use the add workplane snippet fro an assembly the tooltip says unsupported. I also didn’t see a snippet to get position by workplane either so you will likely need a workpoint.

 

So I thought about creating a part(drawing break)  just to hold the workplanes and workpoints needed. These can be added/changed from the drawing using add and set workplane with offset. 

If you wanted to get  the range  box size of the assembly and transfer this to wokplanes/workpoints and offset from these points you might get a relative position to the assembly. This would need to be done in the assembly in advance. 

The above is all just theory. I am a relative novice to this and haven’t really built anything that works aside from testing. Hopefully it gives you a step in the right direction. 

Here I see a method for translating assembly workpoint to sheet points which you can the get position of.
