I've a map with two layers.
One with the Features I'd like to place the Attribute-labels from.
And a second layer with the project-area (red striped).
Now I'd like to have the labels from the Features in the first layer placed (just) outside and (like a clock) around the polygon of the (red striped) second layer, with a call-out stripe to the Feature.

Preferred offset does not take the location of the Feature in the projectarea into account.
Land Parcel Placement, River placement, Boundary placement is all about the Feature's. Not the second layer.
Close is the Regular placement: External zones. But that makes all the labels go to the left, top, right or below the second layer (on a preferred offset). It does not 'go around' the second layer.
Any ideas?
