First of all, my apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but my search engine has not found an adequate thread....  I am wondering if anyone has figured out a way to place a parametric call-out bubble into a legend.  For example, you've created a legend of roof plan notes.  One might say "Roof Drain.  See Typ. Detail X/XXXX".  Obviously, to take advantage of REVIT's capabilities, I would like to be able to drop in a call-out bubble with a live reference to the appropriate detail rather than input a bunch of dumb text the old fasioned way.

I've read previous posts for one way of doing this in modeling and drafting views (drop in the referenced detail callout, then override the graphics of the callout box in the view) and this accomplishes the goal, albeit with a few extra steps.  Has anyone figured out how to apply this in a Legend.

(And...has anyone heard any rumors of Autodesk adressing this need in the future?  This is an incredibly common, and long used, standard of notation...)

I am looking for the same thing actually, and don't think there is a way. We had to not have callouts in the text, but add them to the floor plan referencing back to those details. It gets crowded in the floor plan let me tell u, but I think is the only way to have it parametric I think.
