I can get a two point dimension to work like this and I have to break the leaders. If the feature is an arc, you can dimension across the two arcs and use "tangent" tangent" "Parallel" and select a feature parallel to the measurement. The I can either make the dimension basic or overwrite the dimension (@O) with @[1@].

It should be easier, and maybe it is, but that is what I was able to do quickly.

On two arcs, I was also able to use "Concentric" but you have little control over the orientation.

These are valid Variations:

And by creating a model sketch, you can get this:

I don't know of any graphics enhancement in the GTOL module itself. It has to be created one way or another. Personally, I do not like curves in my part or assembly models as it seems to always get in the way in next level assemblies.

I do see the option for a great enhancement opportunity to properly attach the dimension depicted in the Y14.5 example. Sort of a hybrid radius/diameter dimension.

On the Symbols tab of the GTOL dialog box check the ASME 14.41 option. I don't recall off hand but you may also need to set it in the drawing.dtl.
