you can place the text on the same level as the element.
For example, consider a door as a source element. In

Fiberglass Door are placed at different levels. The level of the element is
preselected in the Level Manager. You can use the options from the level

If you select any other Level Filter in the Level Manager,
the same is shown in the Level Filter on the Attach Item dialog and vice-versa.
The parent-child level filter selected in the Level Filter
