Ability to drag/move drawing BOM balloons in one quick step

[tstout9GFVP]

This would provide a nice time savings over the current methodology of needing to first drag the arrowhead to its desired new location, and then dragging the actual balloon to its desired new location. Just allow dragging of drawing BOM balloons in one singular operation as shown, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally:

Good idea and I would add this for every thing that have an arrow

If this were possible, I would want it to be 'in addition to' the current abilities, not replacing the current abilities.  What I mean is, I would like to be able to do it either way, not just one way or the other, because I still very much want to be able to drag the arrow independently from the balloon, for various reasons.  A little trick I often use with leader notes for common 'tags', is to copy the note (Ctrl + C), then make sure that overall view is unselected (required step), then paste it (Ctrl + V), which puts it at my mouse pointer, but not 'placed' yet, until I left click somewhere.  Then I move my mouse pointer to the location I want it to be, and left click, to place the new copy.  The new copy contains same text as original, and same leader nodes, and same orientations as the original.  This is similar to dragging the whole thing, but with addition steps involved.

The potential problem I see with the process of dragging the whole thing is that if dragging it from somewhere along the leader, or from the balloon end, then when you 'place' it (or release the drag), it will not have any recognition of what you may have intended it to be 'attached' to.  Dragging the pointer itself allows for 'attachment' recognition of whatever drawing view geometry you may have clicked on, which can be used to trigger internal processing to update any note contents that are supposed to be 'associated' in some way with what it is attached to.  So, maybe if there were a Control key &/or Shift key &/or Alt keyboard key combination that we could press at the time we initiate a 'drag' of something like that, this could be used as an indicator of our intentions of how we want that 'drag' action to behave (drag the whole thing at once vs standard behavior).

I agree with the @WCrihfield . There are many scenarios where such a possibility would allow to avoid two additional clicks, but there are also many cases where the effect would be exactly the opposite.

I did not say to get rid of the current method of moving the arrowhead and balloon separately . I am only asking Autodesk to add my method also as a means of speeding things up.
