I understand your point. But I do not see this is a frequent use case. Drawing 25 circles one after the other I can imagine. But moving 25 objects one after the other just seems less likely.
It is not just about proposals: someone has to sit down and do the actual programming.
I think this is about discussion whether or not a feature is useful. Then a dev could judge if its doable and worth the effort. I do not know Draft WB, so I hope someone who knows the implementation could tell that. If nobody is convinced that its useful it will never be implemented. I think the feature is more interesting for people not already using Draft WB intensively.

It is unlikely that you will ever see this in the Draft Workbench. You can however link Draft objects through expressions. For the rest: use the Sketcher Workbench.
I see that (I did not ask to include it, actually. But would be nice though
)

As already explained,
Draft_Text and
Draft_ShapeString have different purposes, their results are NOT the same. I suppose that for a Draft_ShapeString the font is perceived to be similar to the Length of a rectangle: it determines the Shape of the object. A Draft_Text does not have a Shape.
Fine. So we disagree on that one. Maybe we get some more opinions

If you use post-selection you can specify an offset. See: Draft_SelectPlane#Usage_with_post-selection.
I feel it has not been working for me like that. The only way I get the dialog open is the menu and that only sometimes. But I guess its just me as I did not understand the concept yet. However, for me the container solution proved easy, simple and reliable so far, so I will stick with it until I find a drawback.
I appreciate your feedback.
