Linked callouts in X14: want control over text below line

I am doing CAD details, relating to callouts in plan views, and sending to layout at preferred scale, then in layout, choosing the label for the box as callout.  See the attached screencaps.  I did the link in the callout dialog in the plan view to tie the callout to the CAD detail.

 

Using the link apparently brings in the label text for over the line (it's the title of the CAD detail) and the scale in layout.  The scale is picked up by the program code.  Must be.

 

I want to be able to control the text size and left-center-right alignment, and cannot figure how.  I made the label text size, which is controlled in layout, not plan, to be 1/8" high, larger than the detail text and dimensions, which comes in at 3/32" height.  I'd like that scale note below the label line to be this, the 3/32" height.

 

If this is not possible with present programming, I will file a suggestion.
