AKA Label Clustering.

Sometimes I have multiple features that I need to be distinct (for example, points that need to remain as multiple visible points as opposed to a clustered single point) but all of those points have exactly the same callout. Manual cleanup ensues, and often times I would like to have a single callout box, with multiple arrows pointing to the various similarly attributed features.

Here's a relatively poor example of what I mean (it would be much cleaner ideally):

Yes please from the telecom world.

Would love this! I have to cope and paste labels all the time for this.

I'm adding my voice to keep this idea alive in Pro. I'd like to have multiple leader lines be in option in the "composite" callout style.

Please add this feature. I spent a countless amount of time having to use 'polyline notes' features to create additional line leaders. This should be a priority!

I was able to come up with some c sharp code in visual studio that will create graphics with leader lines pointing to both ends of a selected line feature, but it's not pretty, and the graphics don't anchor if you need to move them. Definitely would love a callout with double leader lines to point to roadway endpoints.

This would be very useful, it is difficult to get a good map design for situations where you need to identify or label a few or handful grouped features while minimizing lost space on the map. There are plenty of situations where this functionality would have made doing so much easier and much prettier. For example, road closure maps can be challenging to work with currently where we need to provide more info to each closure without cramming the map with call out bubbles. I hope this functionality get's added.

Please add this feature!!

I see this was originally requested 13 years ago - what are the chances this is added in our lifetime?

ESRI, please add this feature.  I understand if it is feature links, but for non feature linked and graphic labels this would be sooooo useful.  My work around is to create a single annotative text with a leader, then copy that text and place it in the same place multiple times, make the text fill clear, and move the leaders.  PITA.  I have been manually moving leaders like this in ESRI for a decade and a half, CAD handles that no problem.
