Help with annotations on window trim?

The highlighted object is a trim family I made. You'll see in the 2D view below the same trim with an annotation tag. I have to apply these tags after placing the family and have to drag them onto the trim, turn off the leader, and rotate if need be. Its very tedious. Is there a way to add a tag to the family that will automatically show when placed? I would also need it to rotate with the object itself like you can see on the non-highlighted trim in the provided 2D view. FYI the SH-Trim family I have highlighted has many different types in the family (different trim sizes) so I would need the tag to be able automatically change when a different type is selected. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

No.

Set the tag family to Rotate with component.

Name trim types properly and use Type name for the tag label.

 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks
