Add a callout note

A floating note on a plate, with a leader line you drag to whatever the note is about.

A callout is a text box that points at something. Click to place the note, then drag its tip onto the word, figure or signature block it refers to; the leader stays attached when you move the box. It is the same annotation as a plain text box in every other respect — same fonts, same colours, same undo, same export — so anything you already know about text boxes applies. The arrow tool cannot do this: an arrow is a box’s diagonal, which can gesture at a region but cannot point at a word.
