It is Xara Designer Pro X only.
XWDP uses it for stretchy buttons and in some stretchy stickers.
It is therefore feasible to deconstruct a design and change it to exactly your need.

Xara Designer Pro 16 - help menu
is that info only in the web design help? Deconstruct sure but a tutorial would really help. I've been ungrouping some and looking at name tags, makes no sense to me.

F1 (Help) > Index: Exports, slices, and stretches properties.
Create a Text column.
Name it textLine.
Create a Box that is wider than the text column and a bit deeper.
Convert to Editable Shapes.
Name it stretchBox.
Position the text column above and inside the box.
Open the Names gallery.
Change the drop-down to Stretches.
Find the Used Name stretchBox and click the right-pointing triangle to open the Extend dialog.
Select textLine.
Set up the extends to be H: None & V: Extend.
Click the OK Button.
To test, add some text that wraps a few lines; the box grows down. If removed, the box shrinks up.

How you embellish the Text column or Shape is up to you

To move them as a single item, Do the text and box need to be soft grouped?
Great tutorial! However I must be missing a step. The first line of text is white and every line after is grey and will not change color. If all the text is selected and changed to red (or any color) only the first line changes.

SOLVED - Ah, Text Column = Text Line. Was drawing a text box.

I usually don't bother with Soft-Grouping.
Here, it is the line that controls the box, move the line and the box follows.
Soft-Grouping is perfectly all right to use.
