This anchor-object-to-text-position feature is absolutely killer. Finally, a way to have fully automatic bulleted lists with arbitrary bullets! :-)
1. Create some text, hit enter for each new entry, adjust 'Space after paragraph' to give some air between entries
2. Create a bullet object, CTRL-X
3. Select text tool, CTRL-V bullet object at the start of each list entry
4. Selector tool, select all bullets, move to left accordingly
5. Voila, edit text, and bullets move along
It's fun how Xara is day after day more similar to my own in-house DTP software - I called this exact feature "Text parenting" and it worked EXACTLY the same.
