There is a pre-defined yellow balloon callout style that comes installed with ArcGIS Pro that's accessible from the Graphics ribbon, Text Symbol group, in the Text Symbol gallery.

Click the More button in the lower right of the gallery and scroll down to find various styles including a yellow balloon callout.

You can customize any text symbol and save the text symbol to a style so it's always accessible in the text symbol style gallery both for graphic text and labels. 

Here's a blog article that shows this process: Save Text as Style in ArcGIS Pro

Thanks for your feedback.

But, what I would like is to have an icon (in menu below) to insert callout text directly.

Is it possible to include this ?

Newly-added graphics inserted from that menu use the symbol styles configured in the Text and Graphics section of the ArcGIS Pro Options menu.

You could configure the Text graphic style to use a callout so that all newly created text graphics use that style.
