Open up View title in Revit API

Example (potential) usage: pyRevit's Move Selected Viewports To Selected Sheet (see also maintain location of View Title and length of line when using 'Move Selected Viewports To Selected S...).

Like the ability to control and move room and door tags, the ability to move the view title label would present opportunities for automating mundane sheet layout tasks

Another potential usage: pyRevit's Reorder Selected Viewport (see Change Order of overlapped views on a sheet)

This would be excellent to have the ability to align the view titles since we already the ability to control the position of the viewports via the API.

We would like to have the ability to gain API access to View Title length and position. This is a must have feature.

This would help our drawings to be consistent as well as speed up the layout process.

Yes - and provide consistent numbering with an option to use the NCS grid system for naming such as A1,D4, etc. instead of the default sequential numbering.

Now this is on the public roadmap. @Anonymous your idea makes me wonder if there's a "viewport placed" or "viewport moved" event that could trigger an automatic (re-)numbering... though of course it would be nicer to have something built-in (instead of us having to "roll our own").
