Creaing a symbol with a leader

[Pyrotechnic]

I am trying create a symbol that has a leader line. I want to be able to select the symbol and insert it the same way as you would using the call out tool. Is there a way to do this?

What do you mean the same way as the call out tool?

I found a tool that gets me close to what I want. There is a tool called ID Leader which allows me to put a symbol at the end of my leader the only problem is that the record info in the symbol doesn't change in the drawing, it does change in the worksheet though. I want a tool that will allow me to select a point on my drawing which will then pull out a leader with a dot or arrow and then select an endpoint that has a custom symbol.

This can be programmed as a custom tool or plug-in. What does the symbol look like? Does the size of the symbol change with the scale of the design layer or is the size fixed as in a sheet layer?

The symbol is on the sheet layer. The size remains consistant but I would need to be able to swap out the symbol with other symbols. The symbol is a rounded rectangle with the top half a solid color and the bottom solid white. There is a number on top "1.001" in white and a letter on the bottom "H" in black. These numbers and letters are linked to a record so that i can get the info on a worksheet. If there is anyway you can help I would greatly appreciate it.
