here is a work around, as I'm not sure of the correct answer.
create a part model. create two datum points, using the sketch method, then put a dimension in the sketch, value is not important.
then in your drawing, show a view of the part. Show/Erase the dimesion. put the points on a blanked layer so you don't see them. then, modify the dim, change the symbol to X & changed the syntax to @O (instead of @D)
Create the dimension, right-click, properties, edit text, replace @d with @o X.
That will be associated to the features you use to create it. Depends what you want, but you can use modify- dimension
and replace the dim. symbol with X, and that can be shown on the drw. Than you can create a family table and that can be automatically shown in a table.
