I'm not sure if this is included in any general international standard, but is very common in aerospace to define buttline, waterline and fuselage station locations.
I've always had to fudge it, using dimensions with lines turned off (or, gasp, dumb text) and split balloon symbols.

So in order to achieve it associatively one has to perform a great deal of gymnastics. In the past I have seen some people create dimensions with no arrows or leaders and position them within the bubble of an ID symbol.
A better way may be to take measurements from a datum system and plug them into expression strings, as per the attached example.
In the example unsuppress the offset to see what happens.
It works but nobody I know bothers to do things like this because it is probably too manual for day to day use. A lot of people do however have grip programs and the like to achieve similar results and that would be my suggestion in this case as well.
