I agree that Michael's programmatic solution would be the best solution (bar one) if you can find a Framescript coder to do it. I'd contact Rick Quatro at frameexpert.com.... he's done a number of great custom scrips and he may be able to help.

That said, this type of call-out has fallen way out of favor in many parts of the tech writing community because it's time intensive and actually gets in the way of translation and modification because the graphic itself has to change.

A more adaptable and easier-to-implement solution is to label the parts of the drawing with numbers or letters in a circle and have a key describing the parts outside the graphic in the text flow.
