Leader line on dimension

If I have a leader line attached to a dimension going to a radius, for example, if there is an identical radius nearby, is there any way to "edit ref" and add the other radius;
( i.e., have two radii called out with one dim)? I think this can be accomplished with a created dim or note.

It just seems ridiculous to have to repeat the same callout.

Thanks in advance,

The only thing that I know of that you can do is add "2X" to the dimension to call out both radii. Or create a note pointing to both radii using the dimension text from the dim, which you have already stated.
 
You could create a note with a leader and then delete the text after you create the note. Group/relate to the dimension so it will move with it.

However I would only do this if the radii were created in the same rounds feature so as to avoid confusion later because if they were separate features and one radius was changed the your call-out would be incorrect and would not update.
 
Thanks a lot, folks. You came through again.

It's not as clean as I had hoped, but it works.
