Draw a line in Visio between objects without obscuring the text in the label

I have a shape with a text label below. I want to be able to draw a line down from the shape and NOT have it run through the text label because it obscures the text. What I have done to get around this is to disconnect the line from the top shape and draw it from some point in space just below the text area. This is a pain and has to be readjusted every time I move shapes. I was hoping to find a way to connect the line to the text label directly or possibly apply a fill to the text label area to make it look like the line starts below the text field. Any suggestions?

I tried to illustrate this below. Assume the boxes are actually shapes. You can (hopefully) see that the line goes between shapes runs straight through the text label.

Ideally it would look something like the below after the "fix"
