Smart Callout Shapes

Hello Group,

How can I create a call out shape that when connected to
an object will display the content of that object's custom
fields or a single custom field that has a formula in it?
Thanks.

Two thoughts come to mind.
The simple one of course is rather than a callout just put the information
in the comment field for the shape. The second scenario would be to with vba
create a rectangle (or shape of choice) and put a textfield property into it
linked to the custom property name, then code the appropriate connection
codes around. Graham Wideman covered some interesting points on it in his
V2002 book.
