Design basics for Maps

Hi there knowledgeable people. I am really fighting with the absolute basics of labels in Viz. Does there exist a "Designing for maps" manual on how to use the MANY individual plugins? I know the rough groundwork by messing around with the system but, that doesnt help me here. Say i want to design a 2dLabel type label using a NGon as background and a pointer but used in 3d where the label is rotated and maybe even using a different geometry than the rectangular BG as background.
Attached is a 2DLabel example but I cant get it to work right as it is not positioned correctly and i need to manually tweak the rotation to get it positioned correctly. The other Polygon example is a manually made Polygon label that would not work in a templated scenario. The Polygon distorted version is what Im going for visually. Any ideas are welcome
