With Vectorworks implementation of GIS data structures and abilities, and the heavy reliance on Record Formats for storing spatial data, there is no great way of labeling features with attached records.
Example: City Streets GIS data. Each line segment or polyline segment has a Record Format attached. One field in the record format, titled Road Name. We would love to see a callout/label tool that could read the attached record format and place a label for the road name, in this example.
This is something that, when preparing larger spatial studies, is very important and would be a huge time saver instead of doing it manually and individually.
