Can I balloon a sub assy in a BOM instead of the sub's parts?

Can I balloon a sub assy in a BOM instead of the sub's parts?

(OP)
I have a parts list with exploded list and Use level based item numbers checked. I would like to show the item number of the sub assembly not the indented parts of the sub assembly. Can you do that or is there a work around?

I was toying around with this and haven't found a reasonable automated work around. The only option I've found is to manually type in the find number into the balloon.

Thanks. That's what I ended up doing. The problem is it isn't parametric so if I add another part that comes in higher on the BOM I have to remember to renumber it.
