How do I apply a callout for a threaded fastener, in a drawing

(In a drawing, in Onshape)
I need to specify the thread of a fastener (screw, bolt, threaded rod, stud, hanger bolt...)
I am not interested in drawing a helix or something else, nor do I want to have a realistic look-a-like thread.
What I need, is a standardized simplified representation of the thread, i.e.: that the fastener's drawing has a thin line to represent the root of its thread, and a callout next to it, with the specifications of that thread.
(see also the image below)
I know how to do it for a hole (there is a specific icon/command in Onshape, "Hole callout"), but I couldn't find anything similar for fasteners.
Thank you
Dan

... I suspected it... :-(
If you have a similar problem, please vote as well. It is sitting there since 2017 and (as of today) it is in the top 5 of the open requests...

There should be a Hole feature with threads, but for shaft.
