Is it possible to create a custom balloon associated to a repeat region table index and qty?

Pro Gurus,

Is it possible to create a custom balloon associated to a repeat region
table such that when the quantity or the index changes the balloon will
automatically updated as well? Instead of having the default split balloon
where the Index is on the top half and the QTY is on the bottom half of the
balloon, I would like the balloon to have the index in a center of a circle
and the quantity will be outside on the left of the circle with a "X"
suffix. I create a custom symbol with a \QTY\, \INDEX\ variable but it is
manually typed in. I also try to create symbol with &rpt.rel.qty,
&rpt.index to no avail. Can this be done?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Frank.

I have attached a custom bom balloon. You can easily modify this to get what you want. I took a peek to see what version of Pro/Engineer this was created in. It was created in Release 17.0:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 randy engrng 3167 Jun 24 1998 bom_w_qty.sym.1
