AutoCAD text background mask

I would like to apply a background mask to some of the text I'm writing to AutoCAD. Does FME expose a parameter for the DWG writer to enable the creation of a such a mask? This is standard, if uncommon, functionality in AutoCAD.

FME is not currently able to write text mask to AutoCAD, but this is a capability we have set for future development.

Functionality in ACAD exist since at least 2007, though i understand only for MText and dimensionals.

Can't find any autocad_backgroundmask format attribute in the fme ACAD writer though.
