Improvement to Foreshortened Radius

It seems as though one can foreshorten a radial dimension on a drawing just fine as long as the dimension is located on the inside of the radius, but it cannot be foreshortened if placed on the outside of the radius. Drawing style guidance from e.g. BS8888 would often require the dimension to be placed on the outside of the part which might necessitate displaying the radius below the line of the radial arc, and it doesn't mean you want long radius lines trailing off into other views or off the edge of the drawing. Can this be updated so it works with both dimension placement inside or outside the arc? See image for example of the problem where dimension located outside the arc cannot be foreshortened.
